The little girl won't go to sleep

So it about 4:15 in the morning now. Aubrey has been restless since going down. She hasn't been crying anything, however, about 3:30 she goes "Dad, I'm Hungry." So Kix cereal here we come. After eating that and drining a cup of grape juice, she wants to play with her tea set!

So here I am catching up on e-mails while trying to make sure she plays quiet enough to keep everyone asleep.

The bed hopefully will be softer by the time I reach it.

And we are home

It was a long up and down day, however, we are home and Aubrey ate a nice dinner Grandma Kathy made....Chicken and Almonds with a Root Beer Float.

It looks as though the open heart surgery will be in August some time.

To top it off, Cambrie and Cody brought some brownie cake by the house.

It tough times and good times, we will praise him!

Just waiting

Aubrey is still sedated and I am just doing some work. Just waiting and waiting............

She came out okay

The only thing new we found after the surgery was she had developed collateral veins in the lungs. This is the bodies natural way of trying to increase oxygen levels in the body. This is a problem for the surgeons because it causes backflow during the open heart surgery. They injected ceramic into them to close them down.

She has to lay still for about six hours to ensure nothing gets "shaken" up. Hopefully, we will see her eyes in the next couple of hours.

They anticipate we will be home this evening. Jennifer also wanted to let everyone know that Baby and Pink Poodle made it though surgery alright.

Dylan and Grandma Kathy went to Grant's farm

Grandma Kathy and Grandma Shiori came in to help with the kids. Grandma Kathy got to go on a field trip with Dylan to Grant's farm.

They took her in

They gave her some sleepy medicene and took her in to start the cathe. We should have an update about 9:30 or so.

Time to wait....argh.

On our way

Grandma Shiori will be going to the hospital with us to stay with Dylan. Check in at the hospital is at 7 this morning.

We'll see how traffic will be in the early hours.
