We have a date and time for Grace's surgery. She will be getting her PDA closed on Friday afternoon. Apparently the procedure doesn't take very long and will be performed in the NICU. We pray that she will shine. She has had a good day today, but is still fighting to maintain her oxygen saturation. I guess that tells us that it is about time to get this done. According to our neonatologist, babies have a "honeymoon" period for about 8-12 hours after PDA closure in which they do really well. After that they may have some issues with ventilation and making the adjustment before they recover. We are hoping to make Deb's Christmas Party on Saturday with Community East Surgery. (A special "shout out to ya'll" since apparently this blog posts on the jumbotron out there almost daily." Hopefully she will be doing well enough that we can attend worry-free.
We did have some sad news today. Apparently Makenna, the baby we told you about last week, passed yesterday in St. Louis. Our condolences and prayers go out to her family. It hits so very close to home for us, and we share in their pain and sorrow.
