I first want to say Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts!! We are all back home today!
All is well! My hubby is staying at the hospital with her last night and I stayed home with our other 4 kiddos. She got upset when I left but my husband said she fell asleep fast after I left. They ballooned her artery but it did not do much good. They decided not to put a stent in yet because they dont want her to out grow it. ( she is a big girl and he thought she would out grow it too fast) The blood flow seems to be good and the lung buds look good too. Everything looked better than what they saw on the echo last month. She has a bend in her artery that is limiting the blood flow so they will continue to watch that but the doc said he did not want to put a stent in until she is about 6 years old. She also has no valve so 100 percent of her blood gets pumped out and 50 percent goes back and leaks into the heart! So they will have to keep a close eye on that and watch her heart size. She will probably need a valve in a couple years maybe sooner. All and all things turned out for the better and we are very happy! Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers, it meant so much to our family.
She is back to being a little fireball and running around like crazy!! It is amazing how fast these little ones bounce back! God is good and we are so happy that everything turned out so well.
We have some hilarious video of her after they gave her the happy juice meds before surgery. She was so funny just giggling and drooling, I think she was seeing things, we were just cracking up, it really helped to lighten the mood.
Here are some pictures from the hospital......

Hello and thank you for visiting our blog. Yes, the park we go to is not far from you...the park name is Homestead Ranch Park. We are off of Meridian and Woodlake Road and it is only about 5 min.east for us. We love it!!! If you can't find the directions for it let me know and we'll get them for you!
Hey April. I am sorry I have not gotten back to you about the pants. We have been really sick. I will measure the pants and shoot you a note. I did make them capri length. I made the ruffle a bit shorter : )
I will measure the inseam and outseam for you. They are really cute. I am in love with the fabric!! I think they will look adorable with a little white tank top or a white dress...: )
Here is my email if you want to shoot me a note.

April....the inseam is 8 1/2" and the outseam is 15" (rom waistband to bottom of ruffle).
Hope this helps! : )
Love the pics! My niece (7 yrs old) just had a pacemaker put in. It is wonderful to see them up and running circles around everyone :)
