Quick update before a longer one later (We're dancing!)

We can see her face!

First off, she came out of the OR with a tracheostomy in place. With that said, we are so very relieved and excited for our little girl right now. Everything went great even though the doctor was really bummed he had to wind up doing the trach. Her tongue is just not well-developed enough and it kept occluding her airway. She was able to breath on her own without the tube in place and they gave it a good 10 minutes but she was really working hard to get the air in so the trach really helps her and gives her a chance to grow and, hopefully, allows her tongue to develop on its own as she grows. Her epiglotis seems to be ok and they would like to try feeding her "normally" once she recovers from the trach (about a week).

I'll write more later but praise God, who is awesome! We are rejoicing in our hearts and so excited for our little girl. He's got her and our very best in mind. Keep praying for continued healing. Just because she has a trach doesn't mean God won't still heal her tongue! We love you all. Feel free to text me but calls might be a bit overwhelming for now.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21
