SURGERY IS OVER - PDA IS CLOSED!!!

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your prayers today! We received a phone call early this morning that Dr. Hines (Reagan's heart doctor) had a cancellation this morning and would be able to start her surgery around 9:00 AM instead of noon. Amy and I headed over to pray with Reagan and to spend time with her prior to having surgery. Soon after, she was taken down to the operating room for her procedure. After about an hour and a half, the Doctor came out and told us that everything went well during the surgery and that Reagan was doing great! He showed us pictures of how the procedure was done which was quite interesting. Reagan seemed quite tired when she came back up to her parking space in the NICU but her body responded well to the surgery and her prospects are good for a full recovery! We are very grateful for all that God has done to help Reagan and are blessed to have friends that have been willing to stand beside us and will continue to stand with us for the next couple of months. Thank you all for your help! We will keep you updated as Reagan continues to improve and will probably be posting more pictures either tonight or tomorrow! We love you all dearly!

Robert, Amy, and Baby Reagan

We are so happy to hear that Reagans surgery is over and that it went well. We were at Baptist Hospital today around noon and thought of her. Her surgery was already over. Thank the Lord!! We are so excited about the progress she is making and all the answers to prayer. We continue to follow this blog and want to thank you again for sharing with us your beautiful little girl. We are praying she will make great progress from now to the time you get to bring her home. Love, The Ron Davis family
