Mid-Day Update - 1:30 p.m.

Hi everyone! All is going very well. We got a report that they were able to do some type of "repair" - removal of scar tissue on the inside of her left ventricle - but don't know how much, if any, they were able to remove. They are beginning to hook her up to the Berlin Heart -- don't know if her heart will be able to heal from the "repair" (assuming they were able to remove scar tissue) or whether she'll be put on the transplant list. Nurse said Bailey's doing very well and tolerating the procedure just fine - none of her "numbers" are jumping. She is a strong little trooper!

Bailey told me last week that she really felt like she was going to be put on the Berlin Heart but that her heart would heal and she'd be taken off of it and everything would be fine. We'll just have to wait and see! I've been praying every moment of every day for just that very thing (well, maybe minus the Berlin Heart - haha!).

Thank you to everyone at R&L for the lunch, goodies, gifts, cards . . . everything! That was a wonderful surprise and very, very touching to all of us. There are about 20 to 30 family members gathered around in the waiting area . . . all here for Bailey. Her biggest disappointment in all this is probably that she's missing the "party", but she's too busy with her own mission right now. We'll party later!!

I'll check in at least 1 more time before the day's over.
Love, Angie.
