This morning around 6:30ish we received a call from a nurse explaining that they need to do a procedure to "clip" the shunt. My understanding of this is that it closes the shunt a little more to balance out the blood flow to the lungs. The oxygen level that they need to be giving her is down to 23%, so that's good!
We took a slow morning/afternoon and arrived at the hospital around 2:30 today. I went in to Ella's room and it just felt a little different... Her heart rate/blood pressure is much better after the procedure, but I feel like there's just going to be more and more complications... Again, I just want some sort of progress but it doesn't feel like I will see that any time soon...
The Lord is really teaching me to wait on Him. That seems like all we've done for the last five months... wait. I'm trying not to get impatient, but it's tough.
Please pray for some sort of encouraging news.
