Abby Update

Ryan just checked in to update us all on Abby. This morning's head scan showed that the condition of intraventricular hemorrhage remains the same and has not worsened.

Right now Abby is being prepared to be transported via a special mobile ICU to CHOC in Orange to have her heart procedure done. This will correct the Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) (opening in heart) & it has a 95% success rate. The immediate concern is the trip to Orange. We are all praying for Abby's safe journey and a successful heart procedure.

We understand she may be in Orange for 48 hours. We are not sure whether or not she will then be transfered back to Mission or stay in Orange. Doctors think that the heart procedure may correct her increased heart rate & drop in blood pressure.

We will continue to stay close to home to keep you all informed as we get updated.
