Friday, June 14th

Today was a mixed day that included some stressful moments, but also some awesome and amazing moments too.  We’re gearing up for the heart repair surgery next week.  Monday, most likely.  We’re asking the Lord to heal Annelise’s lungs, so they won’t sound so “coarse” according to the nurses.  There is some irritation going on, and the top part of her right lung has collapsed a little.
The best part of the day was seeing my amazing hubby cuddle with his baby daughter!  And also, we began feeding her my breast milk today!  So far, so good, she’s being fed through a tiiiny tube that goes up her nostril and into her stomach.  Can’t feed her by mouth when she’s connected to a breathing tube. They will consider removing the breathing tube after the heart surgery.  One day at a time will get us there!
Thank you for loving us and praying for our brave girl!
