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

Update #3

11:45 am
They came again and said he is cruising right along with the surgery! She is off bypass and he is done with the procedure. She still has about an hour left with just getting lines in order and odds and ends then Dr. Burch will come talk with us. They said after he comes out to talk to us it'll be another 45 minutes or so until we can see her in PICU, about 2:00. B-R-E-A-T-H-E!! It's not totally over but the worst part is, well for her, the worst part for us will be at about 2:00 i'm afraid... So far there has been no tears shed, i'm pretty impressed with myself but also worried that they are piling up getting ready to flow all at once. We will see :)

I'm so happy to hear everything is going well and as planned. I remember seeing my son the first time after surgery. I had seen other babies with all of the tubes and wires and everything but I was still in shock with the way he looked. It is not easy to see your baby that way!!! Good luck with everything. We will be thinking about you throughout the rest of the day!

I'm very impressed about the tears part. You're doing great! Take pics when you see her.

I am sure you are anxious to see her. I hope that happens as close to 2pm as possible. Wishing Libbi a speedy recovery!

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!)
