To those affected by a heart defect:

Off to Get Her Heart Fixed

December 15, 2006 at 7:48 am by Mom & Dad

Good-morning.  We just saw Haven off to surgery.  We were able to hold her for a little while early this morning.  Her nurse said she had a really good night.  Haven was in good spirits despite being a little hungry (she couldn’t eat past midnight last night). 

We were thankful to meet the surgeon this morning.  He is a very kind man and everyone here speaks extremely highly of him both as a surgeon and a person.  So far, we agree.  We are also thankful today because we found out that there will actually be TWO cardiovascular surgeons working on Haven simultaneously.  We don’t get the impression that that happens a lot. 

Starting around 9:00am this morning we are supposed to be receiving updates on the hour.  The day could last for a long time.  We will try to keep you updated as we get updates.  If you don’t read a post from us, it will be from Grandpa J or Uncle Justin.

Thanks for all your prayers.  We should all be thankful that Haven has two of the best heart surgeons in the world working on her today.
