Goodbye....and HELLO!!!!! She is out of surgery!!!

8 hours ago, we waved goodbye to our littlest princess with tears in our eyes and pits in our stomachs as she said "No bye-bye...no bye-bye, mama".








8 hours later....here she comes!!!! God is so good, and our little Miss Brooke made it through surgery and we were able to come out in the hallway to catch a glimpse of her as they wheeled her from the OR to the PICU. 

Absolutely nothing can describe the overwhelming joy seeing the team of 10 surgeons and anesthesiologists come down the hallway...the same surgeons who held our daughter's heart in their hands just minutes before. God. Is. Good. All the time.


Please continue to pray with us as these next 48 hours are extremely critical- please especially pray that she will not get any sort of infection!!! We cannot thank you enough for your prayers and kind words- they have meant the world to us.
