PRAISE GOD! He is so faithful.
The procedure went great! Emma was in the perfect position so the doctor was able to put a shunt in both sides of her rib cage. The most important one was the left side, so the fluid could drain from around her heart. Before going to the operating room, the doctor and ultrasound technician told me they had been praying for me last night, how encouraging! After the procedure, the doctor told us that it went as well as it could have and that the fluid is already draining! He showed Justin on the ultrasound and he could tell that her belly is already smaller. They will continue to monitor Emma through the night and in the morning and if everything looks good we will go home Friday morning.
We have been overwhelmed by all of the encouraging messages and prayers. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for storming heaven's gates with prayers for our family!
My sweet friends! My heart sang when I heard the news! A friend and I were praying for you over the phone in the Home Depot parking lot this afternoon! So excited and thankful for God's mercy! And how COOL that the doctor and tech were praying for you!!!! I hope you sleep soundly tonight. God will be up knitting....knitting....

This is the greatest news I received all day and was just counting down the hours until we got to hear how Mommy and Emma were doing!
ReplyDeleteHope the night goes well and that tomorrow night you'll be resting at home!
Candace, so good to hear the wonderful news! I have a good feeling that your baby will be able to overcome this and be even more special to you because of it. Wishing you all the best, stay safe and healthy while you are there in the hospital as well.
