Thank you for all the prayers!

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for Judith. This morning when I got to the ICU she had started moving and opening her eyes. However, he blood pressure was low so we had to start more meds to get it up. She is still very sick but we were able to decrease those meds a little bit before I left today. We did a CT of her head and found that she did have a stroke. Right now we do not know what kind of impact this will have on her, we are hoping it will be very minimal, but we will have to wait and see. She is very sick and has a long road ahead of her but we are hoping to take her off the ventilator tomorrow. Her family is amazing. Her mother died when she was just 1 so her father and grandmother are raising her. They have such a strong faith that is amazing and so rare. Every time I talk to them the remind me that it's all in God's hands and they are trusting him. They are such sweet people and so grateful for everything we have done.

Three more surgeries completed today! Three sweet boys had their hearts repaired today...7 year old Delvin, 16 year old Manuel and 8 year old Junior. Other than a little vomitting they are all doing very well and will probably go to the floor tomorrow.

Edwin the last surgery from yesterday is still in the ICU. He needed a little more time to recover before heading to the floor. He seemed to feel so bad today so hopefully he can get some rest tonight and have a better day tomorrow.

We had a wonderful surprise today...Angel, the sweet baby we took care of at the end of the week last year came to see us. Shortly after we left last year she went to New York and had his heart repaired. He looks amazing and of course so very cute!

Caths are done and we have two final surgeries scheduled for tomorrow. Please continue to pray for us as we are all exhausted. Also pray for a speedy recovery for these kiddos...it's so much easier leaving when we know they are all doing well.
