Bypass

Yup!
It's that time of the day in our world. We were just informed that Aine has been placed on the bypass machine.
So.... now what we are looking at is (I am not neccessarily putting it in the correct order just giving you an idea of what is happening in our little ones heart)
1) create a hole in the ventrical
2) fix the artery
3) fix the hole in between the ventricals
4) remove the shunt
5) place the conduit (will be used to close the hole that was created previously)
6) repair the places in the pulmonary arteries where the shunt previously was
7) check, check, check
8) start removal from bypass
9) close her up!
10) Get her to the ICU for recovery !!!!!!

Thank you God for all that you have given us to this point,
Please continue to look over our baby girl & give her all the strength in the world.
Please help guide her surgeons hands to create the perfect heart for our perfect precious princess.
Please allow her to have a quick and safe recovery and allow her to come home VERY soon!


I know that we are asking a lot from everyone, but we found out that during our good fortune our nephew is not doing as well as Aine. If you could & would add some additional prayers for him also, we would really greatly appreciate it.

Again: Thanks for all the support - we couldn't do it without you!

I'm trying to get Aine's per-surgical picture posted, but it won't come through for some reason.
