Lia Kate Stone

Lia continues to do well in the CVICU. She is now eating as much as they will allow her to have every three hours and is tolerating it great. She's more and more beautiful everyday. Her nurses have all been awesome and have taken wonderful care of her. She is constantly decked out in PINK and people who walk by her room comment on that often. I must say it's really fun putting her in something new and cute every day.
The surgeon decided today that she will be scheduled for surgery at 7:30 on Monday morning. We have been anticipating that for so many months now, and yet aren't sure we're quite ready for it. I don't know if we ever really would be... I was telling Corey today that it's amazing how in the same exact moment you can feel such incredible joy and such overwhelming panic when you look at her and think about what's ahead of us. We love her so much. We are really having to reach deep down and call on a faith that we've never known we've needed before. We trust that God will continue to lead us through this. He always has. Please continue to pray. Pray and pray and pray. We need prayers of strength and peace like never before. We will continue to keep you all updated. Thank You for all you've done for us before, and thank you ahead of time for the prayers you will all be offering up this weekend for Lia. We love you all...
