VEPTR #2

After a flight to Denver, St. Louis, and then Philadelphia, we finally made it last night. I haven't really said much about this surgery, probably because it stresses us out to think about it. We have done it before, but we also know what to expect and knowing that is stressful. We hope with everything, that this will be what Ava needs. She has been struggling a lot, even though the first VEPTR did help. The second VEPTR on her right side is supposed to balance things out more but not necessarily make as big of a difference as the first. She needs it to make a difference though. She really needs help to breathe better and not throw up all the time. We are going to CHOP tomorrow for all of the Pre-Op stuff, and then her surgery will be on Tuesday. Morgan and I have been really worn out from it all. We need all the prayers and hope possible sent this way.
