I have posted this in the family life forum, but wanted to post it here as well.

My great niece will be having open heart surgery tomorrow. She is just two months old and is really fighting for her life! She has a hole in her heart, her aorta is too large, two of her arteries are switched, the one that pumps blood to the body goes to the lungs and vise versa and she is missing a valve. The doctors had hoped that she could wait until 6 months for the surgery, but she was admitted to Children’s hospital last week. She is in heart failure and her lungs are filling up with fluid so she is on an I.V. of lasix. She is having trouble swallowing, so she has a feeding tube.
The doctors feel that the surgery will be a success. They will repair everything but can not replace the missing valve until she is in her late teens early twenties and is done growing. We are praying for strength and healing for this dear baby. For wisdom and skill for the doctors and also for strength for our family. Tomorrow and the coming weeks are going to be very difficult for all of us, but mostly for my niece, the baby’s mom, who is only 18. She has handle this with a grace well beyond her years and we are all so very proud of her!
I’d appreciate any prayers for us! Thank you!
 
It’s heartbreaking to hear what that little one is going through. I will keep her in my prayers.

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee.
 
Jesus please continue to uphold this young mother as her little girl faces, and recovers from, surgery. Please help the little girl to recover well and to live a full happy life with her mother.

Please flood Your blessings on this family. Thank You, Jesus
 
Praying for your neice and all children who are undergoing heart surgery, as well as those who care for them.
 
Praying for your niece and the doctors who are performing her surgery.
 
I just got a text from my sister. The baby is out of surgery. It went as expected and they will get to see her in about an hour. She said she would give me more info. after that. She is still not out of the woods, but it’s a great start! Praise be to God!

Praise God! Thank you so much Jesus. Please continue to hear the prayers of this mother for her helpless child. We entrust this child to You the Divine Physician. Heal her and make her whole. May she and her mother grow daily closer in love with You. Amen.

Please continue to pray for my niece, she is not doing well. They did a chest x-ray today and her left lung is collapsed, the left half of her diaphram was paralyzed. She will need surgery to tack it away from her lung. The pulmonary doctor did a procedure where he went into the lungs, thru the vent, with a scope and sucked out a lot of secretions and some blockages that were in the bronchial tubes. They will repeat the tests on Monday. If her diaphram is the same, they will take her to surgery.
This poor baby has been through so much…they keep trying to get her off the vent. and are trying to avoid the tracheotomy, but there is a chance of having to have it done. If she does get it, she will have it for a year maybe even two!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
 
The doctors were unable to do her tests today, her lung is not inflated enough for them to do it, so we wait.
Her bronchial trunk and tubes are floppy because they were so compressed for so long. They are flattened instead of round. That causes them to collapse in when she breaths.
Please continue with your prayers!
