Unfortunately we didn't hear the words, from the cardiologist today, that we would have liked to hear..."no surgery required."Sarah Mei actually has a heart condition called complete atrioventricular septal defect. This means that she has 2 holes in her heart that need to be repaired (ASD and VSD) and also problems with her valves which will need to be repaired. As I've said several times in this blog, we see the fingerprints of God all of over this little girl. Today was no exception. The cardiologist c0uldn't believe that she had such a serious heart condition, because she is completely asymptomatic. She actually has an extra flap of tissue in her heart which has offered protection to her lungs...thus no congestive heart failure or pulmonary damage. We see this as such a "fingerprint" of God. Without this "extra" flap of skin, she wouldn't have survived to see her 1st birthday.
We continue to ask for prayers as we make critical decisions concerning the location and timing of her heart surgery. We plan on scheduling it sometime in the next 4-6 weeks.
