So, it's 12:22am and we're off to the hospital. Trista's sats dropped again overnight and they had to put her back on all the medication. Surgery is inevitable at this point.
I'll post more later today once I have more information.
Please Pray!

Trista was just taken into surgery for a full heart repair. Please pray for her strength. The surgery should last about 5hours.
I will update more later today.

Wow...what a day. Trista made it her through her complete repair surgery and she is doing well. The surgeons were very happy with how everything went. Now, we just need to pray that her body reacts well to the trauma and heals. The next few days are critical for her recovery.
We haven't been able to see her yet. Should be able to in about 30 minutes. We are so blessed that she has done so well throughout this - your prayers are working!
HAPPY NEW HEART BIRTHDAY, TRISTA!!
She is so cute and precious. We all still think about her every day! Happy first birthday!
