Surgery Day/Night


Thank you Robbie and Kelly for keeping the updates coming to everyone throughout the day. My in-laws were able to keep up knowing the new information because of you.

Here is what happened: Amber's surgery went very well best outcome possible. They closed the atrium or divided it and fixed the tricuspid valve. They closed her up because there was little to no swelling. She has two instead of three tubes for draining. They said two weeks of recovery in hospital and then home. She is doing great, the amount of additional medications is also minimal which is great. They will try to extubate tomorrow, take the draining tubes out on Sunday and send her to recovery by Monday... all great and excellent news. The Lord is in everything and I can see that but it's so hard to get a grip of it when it's happening. Thank you for all your prayers, you know they were being heard, you know we were all praying at the same time for Amber, thank you.

I will blog about our next challenge we just found out the night I sent the email with all my emotions but another day. Today lets rejoice in the outcome of this surgery and Amber's recovery.

    You and little Amber are in our prayers. Hang in there just one step at a time. You guys are doing amazingly. I do not think I would be as strong.
