Open Heart Surgery

Today was such a busy day... a couple of appointments for Chloe, cleaning, etc. Today was also a bit life changing. We now have a date for Chloe's open heart surgery.  When she was born, we were told her full repair would be between 4-6 months old or when she is at least 13 lbs. Her surgery was pushed back 3 times because she kept getting sick! Now at almost 7 months and almost 15 lbs we finally have a date!!. Chloe will be going for a cardiac catheterization in 3 days, November 29th so the surgeon will have the correct measurements and pressures of her heart. The actual surgery date is set for December 7th, a Friday and the day before her dads birthday.  We are anxiously awaiting and counting down. We have been waiting for this day for way too long. Now its not even 2 weeks from now. Just 11 days!! I am still in a bit of disbelief. I keep thinking she's going to get sick again and it will push it back even further. I know I need to think positively. We are going to have Chloe in a bubble now because we cannot wait even longer. Because it is not worth the risk, its quarantine until surgery. I am sure you can understand. Right now we would really appreciate prayers for Chloe to stay healthy so surgery can be as according to plan!
