Alyssa update! Good News! - Mare749 - 07-17-2007
Hi everyone,
Alyssa came through her surgery extremely well. Everything was right on schedule and so far nothing has gone wrong. The best news is that her heart is now repaired, and they were able to extubate her right away, which is huge! Sometimes babies with pulmonary hypertension are on a ventilator longer, and it's tricky to get them off.
So now Alyssa is sleeping comfortably thanks to modern medicine. The goal is to keep her sleeping and pain free until tomorrow, but then they will be getting her up to walk around because it is better if they do that. As long no complications arise, she could be out of the hospital in 7 days.
I can't thank you all enough for your love, support and prayers during this whole ordeal. It's as if I could actually feel your warm hugs from all over the world.
Love to you all,
Maryann

Soooooo happy all turned out well! Jean's right, Alyssa is the community grandchild!
I'm convinced that prayer and support are half of the healing, more so as I get older. God bless you all, Maryann!

What a relief Maryann! I'm a worrier and I worried all morning about that baby...I am so happy she's doing well. More prayers for her continued recovery!

This is wonderful! I can sit here reading all your loving comments and just feel hugged over and over again. (and having a big sobby cry of relief at the same time) What a happy day this is for all of my family, cooking family included!
I am going to post Alyssa's blog for anyone who would like to view it. I thought this was a great idea so we didn't have to make so many phone calls today.

I finally got a break to check on Alyssa's results and I'm delighted to know she did so well.
Proof again that God answers prayers!
