Early this morning, Dr. Seib called to let us know that there was a cancellation in the cath lab and they could probably get Avery in today. It may not be for a few more hours but we will see. I will update when they take her to the cath lab. There are some risks involved in moving her and the procedure itself, but they are minimal. If they do not find anything that is related to Avery's swelling, there may not be a whole lot more to be done for her. Shane and I will have to make the extremely difficult decision to continue on with her care, or let her go. We are both pretty nervous and extremely scared right now. On top of all of this, we found out that the "cancellation" in the cath lab today was probably because another sweet baby boy in the CVICU who supposed to go to the cath lab today passed away. We are heartbroken for this family. They have been here about as long as we have and they are distraught over the loss of sweet Dalton. Please pray for this family and Avery today. There have been a handful of children who have passed away in the last few days so the whole unit is pretty down.
We are in desperate need of peace right now. My heart is racing and I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around all that has happened over the past few months.

ReplyDeleteDear Carissa,
ReplyDeleteI just read your post and I am praying for Avery, you and Dalton's family. I know this doesn't help much, but Avery is in God's hands and his plan for her is already set. Take comfort in knowing that he will take care of you, Shane, Kaitlyn and Avery.
Love,

just had this emailed to me and thought it might offer some hope:

All my love to both of you, Kaitly and Ave. All you can do is just "be". I'm sure that feels terrible, but at the same time, maybe it can be comforting. I hope you can find a glimmer or peace in knowing there is a greater plan. At this point, all you can do is continue to love her as much as you clearly do. Thats all anyone would expect.

ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for Dalton's family...bless their hearts. And as always, I am praying for you guys and little AMK. I know this is so hard. I just wish I could make it even a tiny bit better. If you want us there, just say the word.

Love Dr. Seib. We will be praying for Dalton's family and the unit. Those nurses and doctors truly are sent by God and need our prayers as well. Praying for peace and comfort that only God can supply.
