Samantha was 4 months old when she had her surgery to repair a complete AV canal defect. I found that looking at post-op photos on the web, wherever I could find them, really helped prepare me for what I would see, what to expect. It can be quite jarring. Handing her over to the nurses was totally the hardest thing. Oh, and see if your hospital has parent sleep rooms. Ours were very limited in number, so you had to sign up early every day in hopes of getting one so you could be close by every night. My husband and I took turns, with the other of us staying at Ronald McDonald House. Hang in there, stay strong, and give that sweet baby lots of hugs and kisses from me, too!! :-)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818973399306650502.post-85682981426411224272013-04-07T23:20:28.729-04:002013-04-07T23:20:28.729-04:00Since the first time I heard of your baby Reid I h...Since the first time I heard of your baby Reid I have never stopped praying for her, you, your husband and Noal. Please know you are all prayed for every morning. I have prayed for Reid to gain weight and was so happy to hear that she has. I have prayed for her heart to return to normal size. I just now put my hand on the screen of my computer where the picture of Reid is and prayed over her for strength during surgery. I have prayed for the surgeons to have wisdom and guidance beyond their own understanding. I believe the God has your Reid in his care. He loves her and he loves you and your family. I pray the day of her surgery that he is going to give you such a peace that you won't understand it. God bless you and your beautiful family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818973399306650502.post-74155277528977285092013-04-07T21:59:49.074-04:002013-04-07T21:59:49.074-04:00Prayers Prayers Prayers for Reid and your family. ...Prayers Prayers Prayers for Reid and your family.

So crazy how far she's come from those days. I know you've probably looked up lots of information and seen tons of blogs. I guess my best advice is to have the people you love and who can help calm you down around you. Try very hard to sleep when you can. Let people take care of you a bit while you care for your girl. Having a lot of people thinking and praying for us was so helpful for me. I posted updates on my blog throughout the day so people would know what was happening. It was so nice to feel all that love coming her way and helping hold us up. If you haven't checked it out, my blog has a page with links to a lot of OHS posts, etc. that I compiled for parents going through this. http://ourcorabean.blogspot.com/p/preparing-for-your-babys-open-heart.htmlLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985688905432556253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818973399306650502.post-37125523074715482472013-04-07T21:11:41.222-04:002013-04-07T21:11:41.222-04:00Sending Hugs and Well Wishes!!
