To those affected by a heart defect:

The third day

December 18, 2006 at 3:14 pm by Uncle Justin

This is the third day after Haven’s surgery, but only the second since she has been somewhat stable. I talked to Jeremey and he said that the situation is the same as it was during his last post.

The doctors are waiting to for Haven’s heart to get some rest before they try to deal with Haven’s acute kidney failure. In the meantime she is swollen because of the water she is holding.

Hopefully, Haven will start releasing some fluid or her heart will get enough rest to continue treatment.

Meanwhile, prayers are still being offered. Jeremey will probably post this evening.
