1-15-2012

We are sitting in NICU preparing ourselves for Bella's procedure scheduled for tomorrow. Bishop came by & we gave Bella a blessing. Today's sacrament meeting at church was amazing. It was almost as if they were speaking directly to us.

The consult with neurosurgeon went very well & she answered all our questions, so we feel confident in her abilities to place the reservoir/shunt.

Becky got to hold Bella again today & that means so much to both of them. See the pictures I've posted today.

Tomorrow around 1pm. Prayers & faith for Bella & Heavenly Father to guide the surgeon's hands.

Thank u everyone! We love all of you!
