Surgery Day - bi-directional Glenn - 10:45 AM

Our second update!  Things are going well.  They put her on heart bypass at 9:34 AM and took it off an hour later when they finished the bi-directional shunt.  So as of right now she is still on a ventilator but her heart is pumping and they are happy enough with the result they are going to begin closing her chest up.  Soon after they will clean her up and in 45 minutes she will be out of the OR and on her way back up to the Pediatric ICU (PICU).  What a relief!

I'm so glad to hear all is going well!  Thank you for the updates.  Lilee and your family are in our prayers!  Everytime I read your updates, I am truly touched by your family's resilency and faith and by the fact that it is obvious how the Lord is looking out for your little angel, Lilee.  If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask.  Lots of love.

About the author

I am the proud father of 6 Children (5 girls and 1 poor boy).  Our second youngest daughter was born with a heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).  In a nutshell the left side of her heart never fully developed.  Hopefully this site will chronicle the progress she is making and everyone who is interested can keep up to date.
