Some of you may have seen my post that my little girl Zoe Eleni arrived yesterday at 3.14, 5 pounds and 4 weeks before her due date. Although her vitals were ok, our worst nightmare about her heart condition has come true and my tiny baby girl is having open heart surgery tomorrow at 8.30 in the morning. They think they can fix the aorta which is basically a coarctation and she has a good prognosis but first they have to get through the surgery tomorrow. Please keep my little girl in your prayers tonight and tomorrow. We love her so much already, we want to get a chance to be her mommy and daddy.

DD had a co-arc repair when she was born. Thankfully it was done via a thoracotomy and not open heart. She recovered very well and is doing great now. Babies heal very quickly and they are so resilient.
I hope surgery goes really well, I'm sure your daughter will do great. Take care of yourself - I know how hard it can be. If you're nursing, keep pumping. My supply went down on surgery day from stress, but went back up once DD started nursing again.
Good luck to all of you.

My step-daughter had open-heart surgery as an infant. While I wasn't a part of her life at that time I have heard many stories about it. Stay strong and have faith!
