Finally some pics!!!!!!

Isabella in her baptism gown
Loving on her vent tubing. She does best laying on her side. It takes the pressure off where that aneurysm is pushing down
Snoozing away
Getting baptized
Our awesome social worker Melissa stands in as the Catholic Rep for Isabella's baptism

Tracy, one of our favorite Chaplains poses with Bella

You can tell she just doesn't feel well
Too cute!!

It has been confirmed, we are having surgery on Monday at 7:30 a.m. Please remember Isabella in your prayers that day. I will keep everyone up to date with any new changes
And again Thank you, thank you for all of your prayers
Please remember Ava Boeckman in your prayers. They were unable to get her off ecmo today, so they are shooting for trying again on Monday. So Monday is the big day for both families.

Great pictures! The baptismal gown is beautiful--who made it? I'll bet I can guess.

We'll be praying for you here!

I recieved the link to your site from CHD families and wanted you to know I will be thinking about you. I have a blog too for my daughter Abi. We will be in the same hospital on Tues. for spinal cord surgery..if we end up in the PICU, which we very well should, I will try to connect in person if you don't mind...or if you see us, don't be afraid to say "HI'!

Just got through talking to your sweet Mom on the phone about 5:30 pm. She has everything packed and sitting by the door ready to head for KC. We know it will mean so much to you to have your family there with you.

Paul and I have been exposed to chicken pox, and really feel we need to stay in Sedan and pray for you all. Would love to be there to give you hugs and visit all through the surgery, but we'll be there in love and prayers.

We know Isabella is in wonderful hands, doctor wise, and of course, the loving hands of the Lord. I read your story ever so often, "The Smell of Rain". The Lord is so near! Far more than us big adults can comprehend.

And when we can't express in words the turmoil in our hearts, there's a song that says, "Tears are a Language God Understands". It's such a comfort to know, we don't have to have the ability to put it in words.......He can understand our tears!

Lifting little Isabella, you and Matt, and all your family to the ONE who can really help.....

Love, Aunt Judy & Uncle Paul
