We feel like it's been forever that we have been sitting in the waiting room, but our name was finally called with an update on Victoria. These are the exact words of the attendant:
"The major part of the surgery is done and the patient is doing satisfactory." She also said, "This is what you want to hear."
Praise the Lord for His favor on us and our little baby girl!
Please continue to pray for her as she is not out of the woods yet. I'm sure she will be in a delicate situation for several days as her heart and body adjust to the surgery. Pray God's continued hand on her.
Thank you for your love and prayers. We will continue to update the blog with her progress so keep checking in. Again, we love you all and could not feel more blessed to be in such a wonderful family of believers!
