Re-recovery
Haven is back in her room now after surgery. They opened her chest again in order to make some corrections to the reconstruction of her heart (surgery #6). These adjustments seem to have made the problem better for the time being. The surgeon said her cardiovascular system is very sensitive to even the slightest changes — one of the most sensitive he’s seen. This means that a very fine line has to be walked when trying to find the right balances for Haven’s heart to function. As we saw this morning, if conditions aren’t quite right, things can get complicated real fast. The adjustments they made today seem to be working for now. She has been back on the ventilator (which is breathing for her) since the emergency this morning. They want to try to get her to be breathing on her own again as soon as possible. Currently, she is sedated and paralyzed again so she can rest through the night. They say this is quite a set-back, but Haven will continue to fight through this battle as she has with all the other battles she has faced in her short, five-week-long life.

Hey Guys. I hope all things went well in the surgery. I hope Haven will get better soon and make all the pain go away. She has been a real trooper through all of this mess. Prayers and Thoughts are still with you.
Love and best wishes,

Good morning Johnson family! I am praying for you baby Haven! God is doing a wonderful work in you! I am praying for you too Alison and Jeremey. Try to get some rest and relax (which I am sure is easier said then done). I hope today is a great day!

As you said, Haven may be walking a fine line but it’s wide enough so Jesus can be right there holding her. Children are so special to Him!
Your web site has made Haven Leigh special to us too. Love ‘n Prayers
