Surgery Date

The date for her surgery is Wednesday, March 13. It will be a closed heart procedure because the cardio team does not feel like her body is strong enough to withstand open heart surgery. They will go in through her left side and temporarily close  her PDA and watch what her heart does. They will also be able to see her aortic arch and see if it needs repair because they are still not certain that it does. If it needs to be repaired, then they will repair it at that time. If her heart still functions well enough to keep her alive with the PDA closed, then they will permanently close it. We are praying that she stays healthy and possibly gains some weight before the surgery.
Please also pray for Matthew. He is still sick. We would like him to be able to see Rebekah before the surgery.
