Update on Paige's heart surgery

Paige's heart surgery is going to be rescheduled. It was suppose to be this Friday, but now they want to test her and see if she also has the genetic blood-clotting condition I have. The verdict may play a role in what type of surgery they do: a catheter placed in her leg and threaded up into her heart where they'd place a permanent metal splint to close the Atrial Septal defect, OR open-heart surgery and stitching up the hole by hand. It takes 2 weeks to get the blood test results. I need to remember to breathe.

Perhaps we will wait a couple of years...

Hang in there, Abby! These kinds of procedures are pretty common and luckily the surgeons around here are SO good. We'll pray for you!
