Great News!

Abby is done with her cardiac catheterization! Everything went great and her heart looks wonderful! I am home with Emma and Derreck is with Abby while she is in recovery. She must lie still for 6 hours and then hopefully she can come home tonight. God is so good! Funny story... Abby got to drink some "happy juice" before they took her to surgery. This was to relax her. It worked in about 5 minutes. She was laughing uncontrollably and then she pretended her bed was a race car as she moved her body back and forth and made vroom sounds. She told Derreck and me that she came in second place. When the nurses came to get her to take her to the operation room, she kept staring at the mirrored domes on the ceiling with her mouth opened. As they wheeled her to surgery, Derreck and I said bye. Abby shot up her hand and waved bye. She was feeling very loopy!! I will post more updates later.
