PDA Surgery Planned

We got to speak with the doctors about Kinley's heart ultrasound she had done yesterday, and it still shows a large PDA.  Our current physician, Dr. Premkumar consulted with our previous attending, Dr. Mandy to make the decision regarding whether or not to do surgery, because Dr. Mandy will be back with us in September. (Yay!)  Both doctors agreed that she needs to have the surgery done to ligate, or close her duct, and it will be sometime next week.  We don't know a specific day yet, but are hoping it will be earlier in the week.  While we are very concerned about our little girl and know it will be a tough few days, we are hopeful that this surgery is exactly what she needs and will help her do much better afterward.

We do not have many more details at this time, but once the surgery is scheduled will learn more and I will share what we know.  In the meantime, Kinley is still stable, and both she and Cooper had a good day today. Please start praying for a successful surgery!  Thank you!
