Just a quick update to let you all know that Abby weighed in at 8 lbs 14 oz today. She's been hovering between 11 to 13 ounces for over a week now so thank you for praying!
On the 5th day of her life, Abigail was diagnosed with a large VSD -- a hole in her heart. Since then we've been doing everything including feeding her the fat scraped from the top of breastmilk to fatten her up. We hope she will be eating a cheeseburger shortly after surgery which is scheduled for when she is 4 1/2 months old.
No doubt you are visiting this site because you are praying for us and our upcoming surgery. We cannot thank you all enough for your kind words, powerful prayers and heartfelt love. We feel it all! Our hope is that this experience plays a powerful role in Abby's life as she comes to understand that all things come to her through God's loving hand. Thank you for walking through this with us.
So proud of Abby - and her mommy and daddy. You guys are ALL so strong, and getting stronger every day together. Love you!
