Yana's Surgery Update 2 - Faith Like a Child

Well, the Lord's Will was done regarding Stephanie and Yana's safe arrival to the hospital.  Yesterday's agenda included performing all of the pre-op items; e.g., Echocardiography, meeting with the anesthesiologist, and some other diagnostic checks to make sure Yana was healthy enough for surgery.

In summary, the main feedback I received from Stephanie yesterday was about how cheerful Yana was; how cooperative, giggly and happy she seemed (except for a brief period when she came out of sedation required to do the ECHO). 

Once all of the pre-op work was completed, they then went to check-in at the Ronald McDonal House, where they enjoyed a nice volunteer-provided dinner and a private room to get some sleep and prepare for the Thursday 615am appointment to prep Yana for surgery.

As I write this, Yana is in surgery.  May the Lord's Will be that the gifts He has blessed the surgical team with be used effectively to repair Yana's heart condition.

More to come; stay tuned...
