That's great news Windy and we'll keep her in our prayers!!!

Hey Guys,

Sorry it has been so long since I posted on this but we have been busy as you probably guessed. Thanks to Duffman for asking in another thread about Abbi. Here is where we are at right now.

She had her first successful open heart surgery and has been home now for about 2 weeks. She is scheduled to go back in for a second surgery in Jan or Feb and a third at age 2. There will be other cosmetic surgerys that will follow at age 1. They are testing her for sight, hearing, all the basics and we are cautiously optimistic.

Looking forward to Thanksgiving with our new grand daughter and Christmas is just around the corner. I will let you all know how the next surgery goes!

Thanks Guys,

Windy

Thanks for the update Windy. My prayers are with Abbi and your family. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Windy, please belive that all WILL be better .. I'll say a prayer ... she will be fine she is young so she has alot going for her !!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update Windy. Prayers will still be sent. Enjoy the holidays with your family and little Abbi.

Hey Windy...on this subject, we got your back!!!

Best to your family for the holidays.

Thanks for letting us know Windy and prayers are coming from here too!!!

It is with a heavy heart that I come to you all today. Abbi left us at 3:30 this morning. She started having trouble with her oxygen levels on Thursday and they put her back in the hospital and tried as best they could but as they pumped 100% oxygen into her little body her heart was just not strong enough to get it to the rest of her. My wife is sleeping now but I could not sleep so I thought I would write a few emails out. Our whole family was around her as the priest baptised her. They gave her some pain meds so we hope she did not hurt too much.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and I have one more request from all of you. This Thanksgiving while you are all around your families, give those children and grandchildren one extra hug and maybe slip a little extra prayer in for a little girl in Illinois who never got to fish with her grandpa. She is in good hands and I know the big man upstairs will teach her how to catch the big one.
