Surgery a success

Yeah, we received an update on Faith's surgery. She had a lot of issues repaired and I really don't know what the red spot of her hip is about. Guess we will just have to wait and see about that. But here are the details we were given from the agency:


Admitted at the hospital: Apr 26, 2008 Be out of hospital; May 21, 2008

Total: 25 days stayed at the hopspital

Diagnosis when out of hospital:
Congenital Heart Diseases
Red spot on hip(from urine clothes diapers)
Ventricular septal defect
Atrial septal defect
Right ventricular run-off tube with abnormal muscular perimy
Patent ductus arteriosus



The good news is that it appears that the surgery was a success and that her heart should be fully repaired. Of course we won't really know the facts until we get her home and to her cardiologist. But for now, I will rest knowing that she really has had the surgery as I now have a picture to prove it :) She does have a pretty big scar down her chest. However, I believe that the scar will look better and better as the years go by. She was blessed to have the surgery at a young age, so her scar will be minimal when she is older.


Here is a teaser pic for those of you out there who haven't had the privilege of seeing my little one's beautiful face! Oh this wait is awful!!
