Our sweet baby girl Sara has been doing so good following open heart surgery. We pray you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Sara continues to grow; however last week Sara had a cold which turned into upper respiratory and congestion issues, landing us in the emergency room (ER) on Christmas Day. NOT the place we wanted to be celebrating her first Christmas; however we knew she needed medical attention. Being diagnosed with bronchiolitis and congestion, we were sent home with 2 medications and Sara began to feel better instantly! Sara woke up with a fever the next day so we gave her some Tylenol, however the fever came back Monday morning, so Sara was admitted back to the ER since we knew something else must be going on. Sara has not been having any fevers at all. After several hours of testing Sara for blood, urine, kidney, echo on heart, chest x-rays, it was discovered Sara had a DOUBLE ear infection, with her ear canals inflamed, also her white blood cell count was high (from her ear infection), so we were admitted into Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children to monitor her symptoms. Doctors plan we can go home in a couple days.

Praying and believing for a speedy recovery for our little princess. She is doing great and continues to respond to treatment. Praise God!

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, support, and for sharing our story. We are overwhelmed how many people who don't even know us have helped us.
God Bless!
