Yippee! Faith doesn't need open heart surgery!!!

Thank you for all your prayers! Faith does not need open heart surgery!!!!! The hole closed on it's own. What remains are 2 holes that are normal in newborns, but usually closes around 3-4 weeks of age. Even if they were to remain open, when she is 3 yrs. old, they would only need to catheterize the holes to fix it and not have any open heart surgery at all. God is faithful.


The only other hurdle left is her hearing in the left ear. They did a newborn screening test for her hearing and her left ear failed it. So we need to go to Portland where they have better instruments to test her there. Please pray that her hearing is normal and that it won't affect her communication later on.

Love you all,
Gizelle
