Two Hours into Open-Heart Surgery

We just received our 2nd surgical update.  They have made it through all Lily's scar tissue from her last surgery  (the Glenn, done at 8 months old, in China).  She is being placed on the heart/lung bypass machine now.

It is still too early in the procedure to determine which procedure Dr. Bradley will complete.  Please continue to pray for the entire surgical team as they attend to Lily Rose during the next hours of surgery.  Lily Rose is 2 hours into surgery and they anticipate surgery to take approximately 6 hours.

These photos are from Lily Rose's bath last night.  She was happy to rinse off all the CT contrast that "blew" all over her yesterday during a failed attempt of pushing her IV.  She and I were both covered with the lovely mixture of blood and contrast.  The combination is sticky.  As her nurse said...it could be used as "product" for your hair!

This morning as she waited to be taken back to the OR she enjoyed a little computer time.

"You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain." Psalm 139:5,6
