My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.       2 Corinthians 12:9

PCICU for tonight

We have been in to see Rebekah in the PCICU. She was awake and cranky for a while. We were able to give her something to eat and some pain medicine. She is peacefully sleeping now. Due to the late hour of finishing in Cath lab and a shortage of beds Rebekah is staying the night in the PCICU.

We have a swallow study scheduled for sometime tomorrow and probably another night here in the hotel to give Rebekah some rest before we head home.

We do not have a lot of information as far as her heart at the moment. We were told all went really well and she did great. We also were informed that she is ready to move on to the next step in correcting her heart and other problems. We will most likely not have a lot of details until we meet with Dr. Lucas in about 2 weeks. At that time we will have a definite plan and schedule to surgery. My best guess is still on target for next month or so.

We are very thankfully that the Lord carried Rebekah thru today's procedures with no problems. Now time for Mom and Dad are heading to go get something to eat and crash at the Hotel for the night. We will pass on all of tomorrow's adventures when we get there.

Great news! I hope the experiences at MUSC continue to go smoothly and you will be on your way back to the upstate soon. I have been thinking about you all the entire day, and thankful to be able to read updates on the blog.

Rest well and I will check for updates tomorrow...

Thanks for keeping us updated! Thankful to our Lord that she got thru so well. She is a little trooper- that long NPO would make me cranky. I am glad Pedialyte was approved. Good news about her trachea, but I know she is still keeping everyone guessing. Bekah just wants to be unique in every way. We will pray that the swallow study may give some answers. Take care and try hard to get some rest. We will be praying as always.

We received this news just before our prayer group was leaving. They all rejoice with you that this is behind precious little Rebekah and you! Praise God! All are thankful that she will be able to move forward.

Love,
