News of Surgery

Ivy had her MRI today for the doctors to get a better look at what is going on with her heart so they can plan for surgery. They discovered that her aortic arch isn't fully interrupted, it just gets smaller. It doesn't change what they are going to do, just how they are going to do it (if that makes any sense). They are planning for her surgery to be Thursday morning, because tomorrow morning they have a meeting to discuss the specifics. Of course the surgery could always change, but we are hoping this time that they are ready. We will keep you posted.
