Today, we are in Houston for Sarah's pre-op appointment for her open heart surgery that is scheduled for tomorrow. I am hoping that all goes smoothly today and praying for her to be in as little discomfort as possible. She is so precious to us and we are so thankful for her.
I know God will continue to hold her in his arms as we go through this journey together. She is so strong!
Please pray for a smooth day today. There is a lot of "not so fun" stuff to do today. Bloodwork, sinus cleansing, etc. Just pray for her to tolerate it as well as possible and for me and Todd to be able to comfort her and support her.
Pray for Jason as we had to leave him in Lufkin. The hospital is not letting ANY children under 12 in the hospital at all. He will not be able to visit Sarah in the hospital the entire time of her stay which is VERY hard for him and us. (AND Sarah!) They may fight like cats and dogs, but they still can't stand to be apart. My sweet sister and family went to get them a web-cam set so they can talk via internet! HOW sweet! They will LOVE that!
For those of you interested in doing something to brighten Sarah's stay....I am (as requested) putting the address of the hospital for you. We do not have a "room number" yet and won't for several days. It may be best to wait until then to mail any cards or anything.
Texas Children's Hospital
West Tower
Patient Sarah Swan
6621 Fannin Street
Houston, TX 77030
Also, the hospital has a service that allows you to make a "card" online for free and have it delivered to Sarah via volunteer staff! They print them out and they are really nice. Sarah got several as a baby, but this time, she would REALLY enjoy getting some notes from friends and family. Kids enjoy doing this online and it helps to feel involved for those closest to her! The website is http://www.texaschildrenshospital.org/ and click on the "For parents" tab and click on "Patient Greetings". You can compose a message. For the first few days put "CV-ICU" for the "room number" and I will post as soon as she gets to a normal room!
