That expression--waiting to exhale--seems very appropriate for me today! I feel like I've been holding my breath all morning, waiting to hear more about how things went. Whoooooooosh....

I can't get on HSB to see anyone's blog. I can't even sign into my own.

If someone could copy and past Leslie's update here or email me, I would be so appreciative!

The last one I saw was yesterday's preparing and packing....:sad:

Thanks!

Here you go Leslie! :hcry:

Holes are repaired!
We just spoke to the nurse practioner who has been in with Eliana during the surgery. She said that all has gone well! Her holes are repaired!!! (I need the emoticon with many happy tears here.) They are still working on her - chest tubes need to be inserted and all that is involved with closing her up. We are hoping to meet with her surgeon, Dr. Jaggers in about 45 minutes or whenever the surgery is complete.

After we have spoken with Dr. Jaggers, Eliana will be moved up to the PICU. It will be about 1.5 hours until we will be able to see her then. I really want to see my little girl. I've been holding onto her hair bow and really just want to hold her.

Thank you for praying. Please continue. I'll write as I know more.

With love,

Leslie

I am crying tears of joy! I talked to my best friend last night and Dr. Jaggers did her baby's surgery back in November! When she told me that I just knew everything would be fine! God is awesome!
