Reading your ...I just came across your blog today. Reading your story is like stepping back and reliving our story. Crazy. Our daughter, Hope, our 3rd little girl was also born with TOF. We had no idea until her 2nd day of life when her pediatrician first heard the murmur. What a roller coaster of emotions. From the sounds of it your Bentley's history was a lot like our Hope's. She stayed relitively healthy. Her oxygen levels were always good and with medication she never went into heart failure. We took her in at 5 1/2 months for her open heart surgery. She did wonderfully! We had a few set backs with the recovery, but nothing major. Her doctors were able to save her pulmonary valve as well and we hope it holds at for a very very long time. She has a very full life ahead of her. She is now almost 2 1/2 and is PERFECT.<br /><br />I will pray for your sweet little Bentley. She is just precious. May God bless her with a speedy and uneventful recovery. God is Good!<br /><br />www.thespohrerfamily.blogspot.comLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226905972765904081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224096659692133226.post-22092577899153246182009-05-21T21:04:16.061-05:002009-05-21T21:04:16.061-05:00You are in our prayers!!!!!!!You are in our prayers!!!!!!!iheartbowheads.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804520779425329846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224096659692133226.post-89589478843521728242009-05-21T20:27:32.578-05:002009-05-21T20:27:32.578-05:00This was a great post!

You will notice the next couple days that the tubes, wires, and machines will start to disappear. It happens quite fast and it's amazing how quickly she'll heal. Even after Owen's two open heart surgeries and his sternum was left open... in less than a week he was off the vent and rid of the majority of the tubes and machines. <br /><br />Bentley will continue to amaze you!!! We'll continue to pray. <br /><br />Don't you LOVE the ICU one on one nurses... it's great?! <br /><br />Hopefully you're getting some rest.<br /><br />AndreaThe Simmons Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206401418544523378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224096659692133226.post-81694265368876210262009-05-21T11:38:47.913-05:002009-05-21T11:38:47.913-05:00God is Good!!!
