Lucy's cardiac cath

I'm currently at the hospital with Lucy and Chuck. We are waiting for Lucy to be discharged. Lucy was supposed to be going home tomorrow but her cardiac cath didn't quite go as planned so we get to leave early. It turns out her arteries are too small and the muscles around the heart are too big for her to have a stent put in. She'll need to have open heart surgery before her total repair. Not fun. Our doctor will meet with the surgeons on Friday and they will decide what exactly will be with Lucy's heart. Her surgery will be in the next few weeks and she'll probably be in the hospital for 5-10 days. We have felt your prayers and appreciate the love that you continue to show our family.
