Sorry for the delay. I didn't have signal in the waiting room, so I couldn't get online. Don, Sue, and I stayed right with Suzie and JR and we didn't want to leave the room. We got updates every hour with the last one being scary. Lindsay had a hard time getting off the heart lung machine and she was also bleeding. The Dr. stayed right with her until the immediate danger was gone. We were informed that the next 24 to 48 hours will be critical.We all were able to go in to see her in ICU and we were pleased how she looked. She's not too bloated and is eliminating fluid as they want her too.
Lindsay's chest cavity is completely open with clear tape over it. Suzie choose not to show that picture. God has truly blessed our family today. We thank you all for your continued prayers.

Dear Suzie and Jr,
Just got your moms call, Thank the Lord, I have been a nervous wreck since about 2 pm. Thought we should have heard something by then. She looks great. We will keep good thoughts and prays for her speedy recovery.
Love you all.
Steve and Tina
PS: Called everyone I could think of that would know anything and no one answered.

Thanks for the update, Linda. I've been checking every five minutes or so all morning and afternoon (because of the time difference).
We love all of you and wish we could be there with you to help you get through this!

Lindsay looks so good for just coming out of surgery! I'm glad to hear that the fluids are being eliminated like the staff wants! Still praying hard for her and you all these next few days as I know they are the most critical! Thanks for the update, I was checking in nearly hourly to see if there was any news yet but know how it can go with getting internet access in the hospital! LOL
As parents who've been in your shoes, please let us know if there's anything we can do. We're here to talk/listen if you need it.
Heart Hugs,
Julie, Dan & Ethan Miles

Ah, Linda...you had a short night and a long day! :) Old friends are the BEST...your phone call was a gift: even if you made the call for yourself, it really helped me.
I prayed all day and am so relieved Lindsay came through the surgery well. Leave it to her to still look absolutely beautiful even after heart surgery! Just keep holding onto each other and loving each other as you wait this out. You all are exactly where you are supposed to be and God and Angel Annabelle are watching over all of you with love, I just know it.
We love you all so much and will keep on praying as long as you need us. Rebecca called this "Miracle Day"...I think that's perfect!
Love, Elaine

So happy to hear that Lindsay is out of surgery - we've all been thinking of you and praying throughout the day. The pictures show just how beautiful your little angel is, too. Beautiful and strong - just like her mother!!! (and grandma and dad too, of course). Thanks for keeping us all posted. You are loved.

So glad to hear that Lindsay made it safely through surgery. I thought about you guys all day today. What a blessing to have family with you to help you through all of this. We'll continue to pray for you as she goes through these next few days. Little girls are fighters and I'm sure beautiful little Lindsay has lots of fight in her. Hang in there.

I'm so happy everything went well. We have all been a nervous wreck. I'm sure it doesn't compare to what you and your family are going through, but stay strong for lindsay.

Sweet little Lindsay knows her heart is in good hands, and she is in so many people's thoughts and prayers. Her pictures are so precious. What a tough time to be going through. Suzie and Jr. stay strong! Know that you are in everyone's thoughts.
