Friday we saw the Cardialogist. Jessica went through a couple of tests to make sure her heart was working properly before going through a long surgery. They did an ECG and an Echocardiogram (an ultra sound of her heart).
Taking the ECG and staying perfectly still!
Daddy helped while they took the ultra sound.
We were waiting paitently for the results and found out that everything is normal. "Normal" is a word we don't really hear in Jessica's appointments, so it was a nice change! The surgery is scheduled for Monday morning at 9:00am. Once the doctor puts Jessica under anaesthetic, they will manipulate her spine to see if it's flexible enough to put the rods in. If her spine is not, then they will put her in Halo Traction for approximately two weeks. We are hoping with all the therapy we have been doing, we don't go down that route!...keep your fingers crossed.
Tonight was a little hard putting Jessica to bed. I kissed her good night and told her so many people are thinking about her!
have been thinking about you guys all day - prayers to all of you!
