Week three (surgery)

It is now week three for Chance, who has been through so much in life thus far! today is the day that he went in for surgery to repair the shunt in his tiny heart.We started the day meeting up with family at the hospital to give him a name and a blessing.His Dad did a beautiful job, the spirit was exceptionally strong as Mike and Jim laid their hands on his tiny little head... After we finished with the blessing the nurses started to prep Chance for his big day as Mike and I watched at his bed side.After about an hour the time finally came for Mike and I to go back to the waiting room where we all waited anxiously to hear word.The surgeon that worked on Chance today is said to be one of the best there at the U and we were very fortunate to have him.

A while later Mike and I decided to see if we could get an update on his progress, as we were walking down the hallway, we ran into his surgeon who had just finished. He told us that the surgery was a success and that Chance had done real well. After we breathed a sigh of relief, he proceeded to tell us that just after the surgery his vitals began to bounce back and he was resting comfortably.Mike and I continued on to see our tiny baby... looking at him as he lay there on his belly sleeping... a sense of peace and comfort comes to you in knowing that our Heavenly Father has a special plan for our little boy, and he is in good hands.
