Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to FIGHT

Yay!?!?!?!?!?!?

9:45pm
We went over to see Libbi tonight and to feed her again and she ate really good! While we were there the cardiologist came by and talked to us for about 5 minutes. In that 5 minutes our whole lives may have changed. When that pda hole closes, which it could already be closed, her heart may be doing just fine and we could go home in a couple days! If it closes and her oxygen sats drop then they will give her medicine to re-open the hole and they will look at doing surgery. He went on to say that if we go home in a couple days (HOPEFULLY) they will send her home with an oxygen monitor (she will not be ON oxygen, its a machine to test her oxygen periodically) and then we will have regular check ups with a cardiologist (once a month??). He continued to say that he has a patient that is 8 years old with Ebsteins and a VSD that has never had surgery! He said she may possibly get through this with no surgery at all! We are very confused, excited and scared. We want to jump for joy and celebrate but we are scared because the higher our hopes get the harder the fall will be if things don't go as we wish. This whole journey has been a roller coaster but we're tired of the downs and want to go straight up from here. They will do another echo on Monday to see if that hole has closed so as for now we want NO news tomorrow because if things are good they won't see any change when the hole closes. We are aware that we are not out of the woods yet but we are still praying for our miracle baby girl!

What a wonderful possibility! We will cross our fingers for you guys!

This is Paul Cardell's CHD video. (I put it at the bottom of the blog, it fits best there..) It is shocking how many people, young and old are dealing with the same type of things we are. Take 9 minutes and watch, these are some of the cutest babies i've seen!! Libbi is about 6 and a half minutes into the video. (make sure you scroll down and pause my music playlist so you can hear his music, he is a pianist, it is very pretty!)
