The world is praying!!!

We received a card today to let us know that Isabella is being prayed for by people all over the world. It is a card that says she has been enrolled in the Claretian Perpetual Mass League which means her name will be recorded in Rome by our Father Superior and perpetually remembered by the Claretians in Masses said through out the world including those at the National Shrine of Saint Jude. Now that is awesome. I believe in the power of prayer and that if it is in the Lord's will, she will be healed. Thank you to all and continue to pray for our precious baby girl. I believe God has great things planned for her.
Lots of Love to you all
Meg, Matt and Bella

Story of Isabella Grace Gudde

Isabella was born December 23, 2006. She was born with a congenital heart defect called Truncus Arteriosus. She also was diagnosed with a deletion on her 22nd chromosome known as DiGeorge Syndrome. She had her first open heart surgery Febuary 27, 2007. She had 5 med flights last year. She had pulmonary hypertension and kept going into respiratory distress. After the 4th med flight, they decided to put in a trach and put her on the ventilator. She was home for 4 days before she was flown back. The fifth time was the worst. I really thought we were going to lose her. She again showed great strength and determination. She had a cardiac arrest on Aug 1, 2007. She was left brain damaged and we were told she was blind and deaf. Matt and I never accepted this fate and as time has gone on we have seen miracle after miracle. Bella now has her hearing back and much of her sight. She is still very far behind, but is making progress everyday. She came home September 12, 2007 after spending almost 160 days at Childrens Mercy in 2007. She was at home up until this February. She went in for her monthly check up and we found out she had a huge aneurysm at the conduit site on her heart. She underwent her second open heart surgery on February 21, 2008, just 6 days short from being one year post op from her first surgery. She is now home and doing fabulous. Enjoy the stories of our everyday miracles with Isabella.
