She's in the OR!
Hope was taken into the OR at noon today and her surgery is now underway. We've been told to wait outside the PICU in 4 hours and wait for Dr. Ross to come and update us on how the surgery has gone. We've been warned that 4 hours is a total guess and it could take 6 hours, so we'll try to stay calm no matter how long we need to wait. We truly feel the prayers that are going out for us around the world, we truly have a strong sense of peace. Although there were tears as Hope was wheeled away, we still felt very at peace and were fairly composed. Ten minutes before they took Hope, she opened her eyes and was looking right at us! This was truly a miracle with the sedatives that she's on, we will cherish those moments of looking into our little girls eyes before she went into surgery. This is the first of at least 3 surgeries, only the beginning of our journey but we know that God will carry us through to the end. We'll update you all as soon as we get a chance, thank you for praying.

ReplyDeletePraise God for this. Hope is in His hands. Praying for peace, wisdom and healing. We're with you.
ReplyDeletePrayers from Toronto area as well!
ReplyDeleteOur grade one class just prayed for baby Hope during her surgery time. We don't know you, but God laid it on our hearts to pray for you. We prayed that the doctors would be wise and know what to fix and that God would heal baby Hope. Don't be worried - rest in God. He loves you and he knows that Hope is a very special baby. Our class will continue to pray for baby Hope every morning during devotions. God bless you!

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next. Stay strong!
ReplyDeletePraying for your little heart warrior! I remember all too well when they wheeled Chase away for his Norwood... almost 2 1/2 years ago! But I also distinctly recall the peace that poured over me, knowing that our son was in God's hands. Praying for a successful surgery and for the next critical hours as Hope adjusts to the changes. Also praying for continued peace, patience and rest for you and your family.

ReplyDeleteOntario on our knees! Its 5 hours now - seeking God for peace as you wait - I know He's in the OR with the surgeons!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am Kristen McKamy's friend Sue...I work with Kristen. I am praying for your little one and you both. My nephew has HLHS and we have walked through these surgeries with my brother and sister in law. He is now 10 and a very healthy normal boy! If you need to talk...I can give you my sister in law's phone number...one of her ministries is to help moms and dads through this by being a listening ear and knowing all the techinical things that the doctors talk about. :) Continuing to pray.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with you all and know that God's hands are guiding and healing. Blessings to you all. (Katie's Mom)
ReplyDeleteThe peace of the Lord be with you all.
