Surgery Wednesday Morning

Clara is scheduled for surgery at 9:30 Wednesday morning. They expect it to last 2-3 hours and they are confident that Clara will come through it just fine. About 1 in 5,000 babies is born with this condition so they are familiar enough with it to know exactly what they need to do for her.

Today has been a long day for Jeremy and I so we are trying to get into bed soon, but we will try hard to get some more info on the blog tomorrow while Clara is in surgery. In the meantime, we cannot thank you all enough for your prayers and words of encouragement. The Lord is definitely blessing us through you!

We did get to spend the afternoon with Clara and she's doing really well. I was able to hold her for a couple hours, which was SO wonderful! That's the most time we've been able to spend with her yet.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday...

She's beautiful! I pray that you can get some sleep tonight. . . while you still can.

Congrats guys!! Just wanted to encourage you that Eric's cousin was born with a similar issue. He's fine now (and that was 30 years ago)! I'm sure that Clara will be healthy after this is all over, too!
We're glad you got to spend bonding time with your little girl :) So precious!
