the procedure

Daniel, Aubrey, and I returned home from Syracuse this evening.  It was a long day (Aubrey ended up going for 11 hours without a single thing to eat and for 7 hours without a single thing to drink by the time they brought her into the OR), but the grace of God was definitely with us.  Aubrey handled things very well altogether and the procedure went flawlessly.

Unfortunately, the test did result in the discovery of yet a 5th category of heart defect in Aubrey.  It is not a debilitating discovery, but it is a bit disappointing as it does make surgical options more complicated.  Still, we are praying and believing that God will continue to keep Aubrey healthy and strong-- she continues to amaze the medical community!-- and that He will give her the miracle she needs.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer today; and thank you for praying with us throughout this past 1-1/2 years for Aubrey.  She is a testimony of God's grace!
