Praying...

please keep the prayers coming!
The surgery will be starting for Evie at 7:30 (Thursday)tomorrow morning.  We had a wonderful meeting today with the team that will be 'fixing' Evie.  She has what is called Coarctation of the Aorta.  Basically put, she has a blocked aorta that should be about 1.5cm and is only 2mm.  They are going to be doing surgery to fix that problem.  Because of this condition she has high blood pressure about 170/90 when her normal pressure should be 90/50.  Tomorrow will start at 6am check-in and the surgery will start at 7:30.  They estimate it to take 2-3 hours depending various factors.  She will be in the ICU for at least 24 hours after.
I will try to post something as soon as we hear. Thanks for praying and all the support!
