Update on surgery

12:45pm
Update from a minute ago: first part of the switch is complete; one of the clamps is removed; starting to warm up the room (its 60F now); Jackie - the nurse came to tell us that dr Kirshbom - the surgeon, is an excellent specialist and God is using his hands, and the OR is filled with angels. This was a confirmation of God speaking through others earlier:
Krista G. (12-08-09): "it will be a super natural-natural thing. The surgeon will be a puppet if you will and the HS will be guiding his hands and giving him strength to do the task speaking in to his ear what move to make next. The surgeon will say in the end that is the easiest/complex surgery I have ever done."
Karl C. (12-09-09 12:18pm): While I was praying this morning, I saw Jesus came into the OR and touched Abi on her head, and he then walked around and touch all the surgeons and nurses.

We feel at peace right now...

    I nearly wept when I read this.

    "Jackie - the nurse came to tell us that dr Kirshbom - the surgeon, is an excellent specialist and God is using his hands, and the OR is filled with angels. This was a confirmation of God speaking through others earlier:"

    Me reading this re-assures me that God has heard my prayers as well. I am greatly pleased that you all have felt peace during this time. I will continue to pray for you all. I know Abi surely is ready to hold momma and daddy.

    Keep praying for her, and the surgeons. I will continue to pray for her and you. Thanks for the update. God bless. Allen

    Our little girl had her DS in June. It was the longest 12 hours of my life. She had a lot of complications and we spent 2 months at the hospital. Today she is sitting on my lap. She still has a far way to go before she is caught up to other kids her age, but she's here. Let me know if you ever need to talk or have questions about recovery from DS.

    I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers have been with Abi since I first heard of her condition. I know she is in the best hands possible and she has so much love and support from her family. I will keep Abi and your entire family in my thoughts and will pray for her every day.

    I remember connecting with you on BC a few weeks ago but had no idea this was to happen so soon! I guess you didn't either. I am praying for the doctors and you and mainly Abi right now. Please keep us updated. We're more than two years post double switch so if you have any questions about recovery, feel free to ask. Even if you just want to vent a little while you're in the hospital, I understand what it's like. You can email me at ekbeckemeier@yahoo.com

    Paul Kirshbom is a wonderful surgeon. He operated on our daughter in July 0f 2008.
