Hello all. Well Bronwyn is in the PICU recovering from her surgery. The surgeon came out to see us just after noon. He said he was pleased with the surgery and so far everything looked good. He warned us the next 24 hours is the most critical time. We just left her an hour ago or so and everyone was very pleased with how well she has been doing. She has already had an x-ray and an echocardiogram and they seem pleased with all the results. They have warned us that she can dip and have issues over the next 24 hours - but they are expecting this and are quick to act. They are monitoring her very very carefully. Her blood pressure dipped several times while we were there - but they expect this and reacted quickly to stabilize her.
Once again we are so incredibly thrilled with the quality of the care at the Stollery. The doctors, nurses and technicians have all been so great. They are so careful to explain everything to us and are so careful of our feelings and they are managing our expectations so well.
Also we are so thankful for all the prayers. Bronwyn is so far doing very well and I am quite sure that is because of all the prayer. God has been so good to us through this process. We feel so richly blessed. I am confident that he will continue to care for us and use the gifts of all the medical staff to see that our daughter has the best chance possible.
Finally I am so proud of my sweet girl. She has gone through something quite large for a little one and she had to do it all alone. She is showing herself to be resilient and strong. We just pray that God continues to give her strength and determination.
We will keep you all posted - thanks for your prayers and love.

As always, we are thinking of you. We are happy to hear the surgery went well and will definitely pray continually over this next while.
Big hug to all of you,

We are relieved as you must be that Bronwyn came through her surgery. It sounds as though you have a real little fighter on your hands. We pray that God will continue to wrap his arms around you guys and that you will continue to find the strength to face each day and each new challenge that arises. We obviously can't even begin to imagine what your family is going through, but being parents ourselves we know how hard it is when our children are hurting and so we want you to know that we are continually thinking and praying about you and wishing dearly for a positive outcome. Hang in there!

So glad to hear that everything has gone well thus far. Get the rest you need and know that you have many mighty soldiers that are petitioning God on yours & Bronwyn's behalf daily. Thanks for the continued updates. Take Care, Crystal, Paul & Family Quilliams
We are so thrilled that Bronwyn has made it through this first step. We thought about your family all day yesterday and were relieved to hear that all had gone well. We will continue to pray for your family and Bronwyn as she begins to stabilize and recover from this surgery. I know God has his hand on your family and it is so encouraging to see how he is lifting you up right now and giving you (and that beautiful little girl of yours) such strength. We love you guys!
