Tomorrow’s the day!
Tonight, after Mel’s council meeting, we’ll head to our beloved Charleston. Mary Clare will have her heart catheterization tomorrow morning at MUSC. We check in at 7:15 AM, as she will be the second case. Generally, a heart cath takes around 3 hours, unless they must perform an ablation or any other “clean-up” work with her little half-heart. We’ll be driving home after she recovers, so hopefully will be home tomorrow evening. (If they must perform any other additional procedures, she’ll have to stay.)
I’ll have my iPhone and, of course, will be close to the computer lab in the waiting area. Once she is in the cath lab all Mel and I will have to do to keep busy is wait, pray that all goes well and update you all, so don’t worry, I’ll be updating as often as we are updated. I’m hoping for a clean cath, great findings and a future date for her Fontan, preferably much later than this summer!
Please keep my little blueberry in your prayers tonight and tomorrow!

We are praying for MC aka “little blueberry” in the Holy City. Will offer up prayers at my visit with the old folks in the nursing home tomorrow morning.
Keri, Ann and I love the photo of MC in the pool. She thinks you should enlarge it and bring it to MUSC when they do the Fontan. It is so touching in so many ways.
Love and mucho praying, Jan, Ann, Hannah

Praying for you, Mel and of course sweet Mary Clare! I pray the heart cath goes extremely well and they get the information they need without requiring any additional procedures.
Heart hugs and prayers your way!

You know we’ll be praying! I’m sure everything will go great and it’ll be nice to have an idea of when the next surgery will need to happen!

I have been reading your blog for awhile now and enjoy watching your girls enjoy life. I will be praying for your little beauty. May you be filled with His peace as you go tomorrow.
Heart hugs,

She may only have half a heart but she surely has ours. It is so hard to see our “children” and MC go through this. God is with you all.
Our love,
Mimi and Bapa

You will all be in our thoughts and prayers during the next few days. We love you all so much and hope you have a quick and un-eventful trip in Charleston. Make it home safely and give a great big hug to Mary Clare. She is so strong and for just having half a heart, she sure has a big heart! Love you all!
Love, Aunt Liz & Uncle Robert
