Ava Gray Doing Great! One More Prayer Request For Tonight

Friends,

Ava Gray is looking fabulous. It's so hard to believe she just had open heart surgery yesterday! Thank you for your prayers, we have been so wonderfully sustained. Havyn has been doing well going home with friends and has been getting good sleep. Linda & I have been getting solid chunks of sleep too (a first in like...forever!), and Ava Gray has had WONDERFUL nurses these first two days & nights (thank you Natalie for all the compassionate care of AG!!). She's bouncing back sooner than I've ever seen her do after a major surgery. Your prayers are being answered! Here's another prayer request: AG's heart is still hooked up to an external pacemaker. When they take it off the pacemaker, her heart does wonky things (yes, that is a technical term). : ) It's not really unusual for hearts to do that right after open heart surgery, but it is important that the heart correct itself eventually. If it doesn't within 7-10 days post surgery, they would have to go in again and put in a pacemaker. We would love, love, love to avoid that!!

Thanks friends, Will keep you posted.

Jules & the girls

PS. In the last few minutes (well, 20) Ava Gray has suddenly started battling some pain - we're trying to figure it out and get it under control. Please pray for her that she would not fear and that the pain would quickly go away. Thanks again.
