I received a call from Dallas today and here's what we have scheduled. We will have an appointment with our Cardiologist at Children's, Dr. Lemler, on September 21st. Then on Tuesday, the 22nd, we'll take Rylynn in for the Cath Procedure. The doctors will use this to carefully and precisely measure the pressure and blood flow in her heart. They will also do all of her pre-op work up at the time. We will be discharged and be able to spend the night before surgery with her. The morning of the 23rd, Rylynn will be admitted at around 6:30 in the morning and she should be in surgery by around 7:30. Dr. Forbess will perform the Glenn procedure on her which is the second of her three surgeries. To explain the surgery in one sentence, post surgery all the blood coming from the upper body is sent to the lungs so more blood with oxygen is coming back from the lungs to the left side of the heart.
I write this all so matter-of-factly, but even as I type I find it hard to swallow and my eyes start to tear up. Ry is swinging in her swing taking a cat nap right now and I worry that she will miss her swing while we are in the hospital, along with her bouncy chair, our rocking chair, and all the daily activities that we enjoy. I know that this surgery is necessary and will help her body, but it's tough to think about.
Please lift us up in prayer as we begin to prepare for this next surgery.
We love you all!

Poor little lady. She is very strong, and has been through so much. She's lucky to have such strong parents, too. We will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
