Little late....better than never

My little June bug became a May flower on 5/31/12, 4 weeks early. Athena Jane weighed 3lbs 7oz and 17 in long. I was scheduled to have a csection 6/11/12 but my water broke and she pretty much came with it!! 

Athena had her heart surgery last Thursday to repair her heart and is now on the mend. Being that it was a massive surgery on such a little person, they left her chest open so that the swelling of her organs could go down and they closed her up today. I can't hold her for a few more days which I think is the hardest, but its ok. As long as she heals.

 I hope you all are doing well and can't wait to hear your stories.

oh congrats on Athena.  So glad to hear that baby is doing ok, that is such a big surgery for such an itty bitty baby.  I cant even imagine how hard it must be to not be able to hold her!  lots of thoughts and prayers for a speed and healing process.  enjoy that beautiful daughter!

Congrats on Athena's arrival.  Must have been a little scarey.  Glad to hear her surgery went well and that she is on the mend.

Congratulations! So glad miss Athena is doing well ... I hope she keeps on healing and you get to hold her soon! I'm sure she misses her mama's touch!
