Surgery is Done

We just finished talking to Dr. Hillman and Miss Melanie is a trooper! She made it through surgery with not complications. They collapsed her left lung for the surgery (as planned) and her right lung (the bad one) did just fine it's own. The used two clips/staples, which will take a picture of later, instead of one b/c the ductus was so large. Dr. Hillman also said he was able to see her left lung during the surgery and it looked good. A lot of times they see bruising on the lungs from the ventilator and he did not see that which is also good. The Lord is good. We are so thankful everything went well. We thank each and everyone of you for your countless prayers!! We are now going to head in and watch our little peanut!!

well if there are not enough things to be thankful for this thanksgiving you can add sparing Miss Melanie through the surgery. May we pray that the hole now heals and that He will continue to strengthen her in that she may return home in due time. For in all things give thanks for He is good.
