So, we're out of surgery and so far everything is going very well. The estimated length of the operation was 4 to 6 hrs. and it ended up only taking 3. What a relief to not have to wait as long as we were expecting. For now, Kaelyn is just hanging out. They will keep her sedated and comfy for the next day or so and also keep her on the ventilator until they feel that she is ready to do it on her own. The big thing will be to keep her heart from working too hard too soon so that the sutures don't get harmed.
A big thank you to everybody who has gone out of their way to keep us in their thoughts and prayers the past couple of days. We are certain that has helped Kaelyn and us make it through this week.
I also thought it would be fitting to include a video clip from one of Jeana's favorite movies.
And now, enjoy some pics

She was so hungry this morning she needed both her thumb and the binkie.

I prayed for little Miss Kaelyn throughout the day. I was thinking of you last night & wondering how hard it must've been to put her to sleep... knowing what today would hold. Will keep praying for her little heart.
