I just got off the phone with Camille and she said that Lauren is doing well. She came out of surgery around noon extubated but had problems with her body warming up so they had to reintubate her for a brief time. She is now resting, asking for water and for her momma to hold her. Her heart rate is a little high but the staff believes that it is because she needs extra fluids. Lauren also has LPA stenosis and unfortunately Dr. Bailey wasn't able to repair it during surgery, so on Thursday Lauren will have to go down to the cath lab so that a stent can be placed in her LPA.
Camille sounded very relieved, as we all are after we see our child after surgery, and upbeat. Thank you for your continued prayers for Lauren and her family.

Tomorrow Lauren, a very dear heart friend of ours, will be going in for her Fontan. Lauren's mom Camille and I met through an online support group and soon discovered that we not only live in the same city, but right down the street from each other. Please keep this precious little girl in your prayers tomorrow, as well as her parents, Race and Camille, and Lauren's older siblings Noah and Juliet as they have a very hard time coping when Lauren is in the hospital.

Shannon,
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. It's great to connect with other heart families! Carlie is the same age as my oldest daughter, who turned three on March 31! It's awesome to see kids who have been through all three surgeries. I hope you don't mind me linking your blog to mine!

How tough! I bet it is great to have a support group through all of that.
