Heart Cath Underway>>>> Please Please Pray for Lilly

We woke up early this morning and got started on our trek to the hosp.   Lilly was tired but up and happy.   We picked up Nana and Ma Maw and were soon on our way.   We got to the hosp and checked in about 6am.  Lilly was happy to play in the waiting room.... minus a small accident with a chair....bad chair.    They took us back and got her vitals and made her change her clothes :(   Hospital wear is not Lilly or Mommy's favorite.   She played with her markers and was very good and extra cooperative.   What a good girl we have!    She only cried when we had to get an xray.... she only cried for a few moments until she got stickers with SHOES on them!   Shoes always make my girly happy.    Then she got to go play in the play room....she ran around like a mad woman playing with everything!  We played ball, read books, pushed a tractor over, and just had a grand ol time.    That is until the anesthesia people came to see us and we had to go to our room.    All she wanted to do at 6:30 in the morning is play, play, play.     Then they gave her a drink of Versed, the happy juice... she still was up...but getting a little drowsy....so mommy and daddy had to go into the cath lab with her.... this made mommy and daddy cry.     They gave her some gases and she was none to happy.   I had to hold her hands as she yelled, mommy.... no, no, no.... I felt horribly mean helping to hold her down while she was yelling for me to help her.    One day she will understand it was all for her own good.    Here are some pictures of our morning.... please pray for our little one!  They expect the cath to last from 2 to 3 hours... could be more if they have to do any interventions.    Recovery time is another 6 hours lying flat and calm....then maybe if no interventions have been done we will be on our way home.     Fingers crossed (in prayer of course)    If any interventions need done Mommy will be staying over night and we will be on our way tomorrow am around 11 or so.          We are all sitting worrying, waiting, and praying.   Please join us at home.   HUGE HEART HUGS !!!   Lydia
