Abby Day 9

Today is Abby's 9th day in the NICU.  Abby will have surgery on her heart tomorrow to close the PDA.  She started developing pulmonary edema so the Dr's decided to go ahead and do the PDA ligation.  The next few days are going to be tough for all of us.  The surgeon is excellent and has a lot of experience, which is comforting.  Today abby has to get a blood transfusion and the nurses are having to try and start another IV.  Her kidney function is doing a little better they say.  This whole experience is very difficult for me to understand.  I am so thankful to have such a strong supportive husband to lean on.  Thanks to family and friends for prayers and support.  My grandmother is bringing us her famous fried chicken today.  Chad has not experienced that yet, he is in for a treat.
