They did an echo today and the fluid is built back up around her little heart. It is starting to affect her heart rate and she is having alot of atrial flutters and some other things. Not sure what all they said but that it is the fluid causing it. So the answer now is they are taking her back to surgery to do a pericardial window. No one can explain why her little body isn't getting over this on it's on and the meds only work through IV. The same surgeon is going to do this surgery as she did the open heart surgery. At this point we know it won't be today because she has eaten lunch. The plan is to be the last case tomorrow, unless one of the other cases run longer then it will be pushed to Friday morning.

Miranda spent her bday in the hospital and now we get to look forward to spending our anniversary in here also.

They are hopeful that this will be the answer to the problem of the fluid building up so much. I hope they are right, I don't know how much more any of us can go through. Please continue to pray for her, she doesn't understand what is going on and was so looking forward to going home today and now it looks like it will be 3-5 more days after surgery. I want to thank you all again for all the prayers and everything else. Dr. Christian is on her way up to see us so I'll close for now before I cry more. I will update when I know for sure when the surgery will be.
