I just got an email from Shane...
He said that if all goes as planned, Avery will have her CDH repair surgery later today!!
The doctor did an echo of her heart and said that hole is still there, but the good news is that she does not have pulmonary stenosis, which is the narrowing of things that...shouldn't be narrow. (Hey, I'm not a doctor!) I think basically what it means is that there is good blood flow between Avery's heart and lungs.
They are changing her ECMO cicuit again (which she has done well with in the past) and giving her some steroids in preparation for her surgery this afternoon.
Also, today is Avery's one week birthday!!! Happy Birthday, sweet girl!!!!
Please, pray for Avery, her doctors and her parents this afternoon. I'm sure all will be fine. This is a BIG step in the right direction!!!
Shane wanted me to pass along the address of the house where they are staying...
