Awe

The nurse from surgery came to tell us 30 minutes ago that they were finishing up. All went well. What a relief when she came into the room with a huge smile on her face! I am in absolute awe. To think that that fine surgeon and his team held my daughters tiny heart in his hands. That he fixed it.

The nurse said they would be about another hour finishing up in the OR and we can see our little miss about 20 minutes after that once she is settled in the PICU. I am just in so much awe. Though I can't wait to see her, I already feel so much weight just sliding from my shoulders. Just rinsing off me like it was a thick sludge and all I needed to do was shower. I so hope the recovery is quick and as painless as possible.

And thank you, thank you all our friends. I am in awe by you too. By your love and encouragement. I spent some time alone this morning, after handing my daughter over to the doctors and in my head I thought of each of you by name and told Georgia that you were all wishing and praying for her, and letting her know that she was so loved. It is humbling. And I appreciate it so immensely. And I so dearly hope that we can meet at least some of you in person someday. We really should have some sort of meet-up...you all mean so much to me. You have been my support in some very difficult times.

Much love and support also to Delphine and her family. What strong and brave s.

Now to await seeing my G.

I went through all this with my daughter coming up to 9 years ago. I am so pleased it's all worked for her and that you can breathe again.
