We were supposed to meet with the surgeon tomorrow but we were there when he was doing rounds today and so he met with us today. He explained the surgery what needs to be done and what Bronwyn's issues going into the surgery are. There is one aspect of the surgery that is less than ideal going in. He (and by he I mean Dr. Rebeyka) is confident that it wont be a big issue but it is something to be considered and is a complication. The aorta vein leading into the heart is a little smaller than would be ideal for the surgery. We are not alarmed at this as the doctor seems confident that it wont be an issue. These doctor's must take courses on how to contain and manage the fears of parents.
Bronwyn is still in stable condition and looks in good shape for the surgery on Thursday. Her surgery will begin at 7 am and should take about 4 - 5 hours. The first 24 hours after the surgery are the most critical and she will be monitored very carefully during this time.
On the home front Gavin is doing well - he has a bit of a cold so he hasn't been able to go in and see his sister. We had a lovely visit today from Hope and the kids which was a real joy. Gavin is super excited at the moment as his Grandparents have just returned from a weekend back in Calgary.
I am off to the hospital again here - so I will cut it short.
God Bless you all.

It was great to see you guys. We will await good news Friday night. I know God is holding your precious girl and giving her all of your love.
Love, Hope
Thinking of you so much while you wait. Praying for Bronwyn to be strong on Thursday and for the surgeon's hands to be touched by God. After my Uncle Stan's miraculous recovery, I believe with all my heart that God can and will perform a miracle. God couldn't ignore all the prayers...so I pray along with so many others for Bronwyn. Lots of Love, Janet
We keep praying for Bronwyn's health and peace for each of you. Thursday & Friday will seem like long days but God is looking after all of you. Take care of each other.
We love you,
Velma & Jeff
