Darby Kate is 3 weeks old today, and she will undergo her third major surgery in her short life. Doctors have said there is no more they can do if this does not work.

 8:00 a.m. Good Morning!! Thank you so much for the continued prayers. She is like the resident rock star! She has all the nurses and doctors in her room right now. I woke up with a peace this morning. Her stats look great and they are prepping her for surgery although we still do not have an exact time. I will update everyone along the way today. God Bless each of you for your selfless acts!

12:30 p.m.  She is about to go back for surgery. Please pray for her and all the medical staff. 

2:15 p.m. They are underway with the surgery.

4:15 p.m. Just talked to the surgeon, she is out of surgery and did fine. It will take several days to see if the surgery was a success. Thank you God for the answered prayers! We still have a long road and as you can see from day to day miracles, God is answering our prayers. Please keep lifting this angel up!!

8:00 p.m. Darby Kate is still sedated but her oxygen saturation is in the high 80's which is where it will be for the remainder of her life. They are giving her a small bump to get her to 100% concentration so she will get stronger faster. As expected she has retained more fluid from the surgery so she is very puffy and out of it tonight. Her blood pressure was a little bit low on her own so she is getting it propped up by meds. They will wean her from ECMO tonight so her body can perform the majority of the work. God has performed miracles in every turn of this child's life and it has really opened my eyes to the blessings I have been given, God knows I am so unworthy. Do yourself a favor and thank God for all the blessings you receive daily and take for granted, after all, we are not promised tomorrow. Thank you so much for raising one of my many blessings up to God for healing.
