Yesterday was rest, and then shopping for new clothes, shoes and some food for Ruthe and Sauveur. I wish I could have been there to experience all these new things with them!
Today Ruthe had her pre-op labs, ECHO and EKG. Initially, the Cardiologists were hoping to be able to close her heart defect through catheterization, but after reviewing the ECHO today, it looks as if a surgical closure is the only option. The good news is that they are not going to even attempt the catheterization tomorrow. Instead, she will be admitted to the hospital at noon tomorrow with surgery scheduled for early Thursday morning. They anticipate that she will have to stay in the hospital for 5-7 days after her surgery. If all goes well, they are still hopeful that she will be able to return to Haiti in one month as scheduled.
Please pray for Ruthe and her family this week! I'm thankful for friends in Dallas who will spend time with Ruthe and Sauveur. I know the support and encouragement will build them up. Special thanks to Scott and Lynn Barlow!
