Catheterzation tomorrow

We are currently headed up north for Abbey's Cardiac Cath tomorrow (Thursday). This procedure will give Dr. Hanley (surgeon) the information needed to determine if her pulmonary arteries have grown enough in order for him to perform her surgery, which has been scheduled for January 6th. As with any procedure there are risks, so we are asking for your thoughts and prayers for our sweet little princess.

Specific prayer requests:
-That as they put the breathing tube in, there will be no further damage to her vocal cords and airways
-That Dr. Perry is able to gather the information quickly without any complications
-Lastly, that Abbey has a smooth recovery
-We always have a very difficult time walking to the "double doors" right before any procedures or surgeries and having to hand off our sweet babies. I always pray at this time for God to help us to breathe and too put his healings hands on our sweet baby.

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers.

Thought I would end on this quick cute note:

Yesterday Luke and I were out shopping for a stroller. Here is the conversation he had with the sweet sales lady Megan.

Luke...you really don't need to show mommy how to do that I can help her
Megan...wow, you must be really smart
Luke...Yep, I sure am
Megan...you just might be the president someday
Luke...nah, I want to be a Doctor
Megan...wow a Doctor! For your mommy and daddy?
Luke...no, for kids and babies like me and my sisters

Ok, so the emotional me got all teary eyed. I thought it was so sweet! Sorry, just had to share. He is really excited to be heading up with us because like he said....Abbey will need me after her procedure :). Just love my little guy and his sweet heart!! He will be staying with Grandma Laura and Grandma Marsha at the hotel and is so excited to be hanging out with them. Thank you moms once again for all of your support. We do not know where we would be without you.

We will update as soon as we receive any news.

All our love

  2. Praying that even now, though the procedure has probably been done (or at least started), that you feel the peace and the presence of the Lord.

  6. Once again..we haven't met. I found you Vic and Justin...who I also havn't met. I am praying that tomorrow is "uber" successful. If you see a family with a little tot named Burke, he had his surgery today. The family is from Utah, so they are far from home.
