Dear friends, the cardiologist scanned Lizzie today at our request before the surgery on Monday. The disapointment continues. Lizzie's condition is the same. Still nothing from God. Elaine and I spoke to the surgeon this morning and confirmed that the surgery will be done on Monday morning, probably around 8.30am. It will be approximately 2 hours long. The procedure is to put an artificial stem on the right side of Lizzie's heart to provide more blood flow from the lung to the heart. Following the surgery, Lizzie will be warded in a different ward for recovery. She will also be on medication, although mild, permanently. The surgeon is not able to tell us that this will surely be the only operation needed before the open-heart surgery when Lizzie is 20kg. Subsequent follow-up surgeries may be necessary before that. Please pray for God's grace and mercy for our little Lizzie. She is sleeping soundly every day (otherwise crying angrily for her pacifier!!), oblivious of the surgeries she need to face for years to come.
PS: Please do not come down, or send us anything. We appreciate allthe gifts and visits with great gratitude, but we really only need your prayers for Lizzie.
Thanks, Simon & Elaine
