SURGERY day started with a scare as they needed more blood with the same antibody.  And till they tracked that down surgery was not starting.  They didn't want to put her down till it was found.  However  Kylie was having such a hard time they decided that it was too much trauma so they put her under as they drew more blood and tracked blood down with the same antibody.  Surgery started two and half hours late.  We were praising the Lord when we heard there was a match and the surgery was on.  The surgery was closer to seven and half hours verses the six hours they predicted.  Dr. del Nido was pleased with how it went.  She does need a pacer at this point.  The surgeon said it could be just from the trauma today, and we will know in a couple days if its temporary or if she will need a permanent pace maker.  We are so thankful for so many answered prayers today.  Ten to fifteen years ago the nurse said this was just starting to be performed.  The surgeon also said this type of surgery is one of his most complex.  Again so much to be THANKFUL for!
Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!

Again we are amazed how one person can be hooked up to so many machines.

 Lee was very intrigued with the little train that goes all by itself.  Of course he couldn't stop with that

and had to see if the train would carry him too.  I was waiting for security to come running.
