Surgery Prep

It is 2PM here and Olivia has not been taken yet. Apparently the prior surgery is taking a while longer than expected. And I hope they grab lunch before they start on her.

They have about 40 minutes of prep to do beforehand so they will hopefully take her soon. We were just told she may be the last surgery of the day.

We've been praying for a creative miracle with the understanding that it may come to the point of needing surgery. Olivia's oxygen saturation level has been in the high 80s all morning, which is unheard of ... it's a great thing. So I pushed for one last echo and they did it. No info yet on the results. So pretty soon it will come to the point of switching gears to pray for the medical personnel.

The anesthesiologist just stepped in. It's time to roll.

Time to pray for the medical personnel. They've done this a lot, so it will be successful anyways ... but we always like to cover them in prayer.

Guide them, Father. Take care of Your little girl.

Thanks for praying with us.

From the timing of your post, I'd guess that Olivia is in surgery right now. I am praying for her, for the doctors and other medical personnel, and for your family.
