Hospital Update - 5

They've gotten a homograft out of the freezer and begun thawing it to sew into Maggie. They're using a human artery, probably from an adult. Doctor said he'd get one that's a little too big, to give her room to "grow into." They have also begun cooling down Maggie's body. The doctor is nearly done cutting through to the heart. By 2:00 they should be attaching the new artery.

    Oh, Susan, we are continuing to pray. This is bringing back so many memories for me of my then 4 year old sister having open heart surgery in 1975. They have come a long way! Tears are in my eyes as I type thinking of Maggie. My prayers are ascending!

    Your updates make it easier to be more specific in our prayers.
