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 #1

10:20 am
They called about an hour ago and said she was opened up and they were 'officially' starting.
Dr. Menon just stopped by and said her TEE (Transesophangeal Echocardiogram) was in and good. That is another sort of line they put down her throat to do an echo, because she is opened up, they can't do a regular echo so they do this. It is placed behind her breathing tube. Just to warn you all (grandparents) she will have quite a lot of things hooked up to her when we get to see her. I know that i am not prepared, it will be rough. They said we would get another update about 11:00. We have moved into the waiting room, we keep getting weird looks cause we have so much stuff! We needed things to stay busy, plus pillows, blankets, laptop, camera bag and Libbi's car seat! Ha ha we do look kind of funny. O well!

HA HA!! I have travled with you Dixon's a time or two and I know you tend to pack the whole living room!! You need to take a picture of all your stuff. Hey you do what you can to stay comfortable to pass the time. SO Soo glad things are going smoothly!! I never doubted that she would sail right through this!! Love you ALL.

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!)
