Sedona's Health

1.We just saw our little girl very briefly. She's still sedated & was covered up but it was good to put our eyes on her & steal a quick kiss.

2.They've finished the surgery. They believe it was successful. The hole though was actually twice as big as they thought. Time to exhale.

3.I think I'm finally believing this may turn out ok.

4.vsd & asd have been fixed & ourgirl is off the bypass machine. Her heart seems to be working well. Now they double-check via echocardiogram

5 Salvation Army officer Major Linda Wheeler visited us for about an hour. She comforted us and prayed for ourgirl.
