Surgery Update

So it's been a long morning, but here goes...

They were preparing Brielle for her surgery when her heart went into an irregular rhythm. They performed CPR and were able to get her stable again within a few minutes. They don't foresee any long term damage, and were glad that she recovered as well as she did. However, the doctors have decided to postpone her surgery, as they didn't wan't to risk major surgery after such an event.

Right now they have her on a ventilator and are keeping a close watch on her. As long as her condition is stable, they will attempt surgery again within the next 24-48 hours.

Hopefully, the next surgery attempt will go better so that she can move on to the next phase of her recovery. We appreciate all of the support and want to thank everyone for their prayers.

  1. Hi Samantha,
    We've been praying for Brielle and for her condition to be stable enough for them to attempt the surgery again. Also praying for you and Anthony through this time. We'll keep checking for updates.
    Love, Aunt Melinda
