Today we finally got the news we've been waiting for. The doctors got enough information from the MRI, X-rays, and Echocardiograms that they are confident enough to perform surgery. Ivy will be the first surgery of the day tomorrow morning at about 7:00am and it should take approximately 7-8 hours before it is over. There are three main parts of surgery that the doctor needs to do, which I won't go in detail about (mainly because it is tons of information) but the overall theme of the operation is to make the heart much more functional for the time being (until her next surgery in 4 or 5 months). The doctor seemed very confident and I believe he will do a very good job.
Thanks everyone for respecting our wishes to be left alone during such a difficult and busy time. We will try our best to keep you all updated. Tomorrow is a huge day for us and we are lucky to have so many people in our corner. Please pray for our precious baby girl.
