The surgery date!

For the passed couple of weeks I have gotten phone calls from the surgeon's office in Ann Arbor that i have purposefully ignored... I just wasn't ready to set a date yet. Peter and I have had long talks and shed many tears over this date but it has to get done to better Olivia's life.
Friday afternoon Livi's cardiologyst office called me with a date since I couldn't decide on any one during September... and it will be SEPTEMBER 29-TH.
Also during the nephrologist appointment last week we found out that Olivia's kidney(whats left about 29 %) will shut down for good and she will be in dialysis until the transplant(which will be next year before she reaches two).
Even though we were somewhat prepared about all of these I have to say it has been harder than we thought... I feel like days are going too fast and hours are flying by :( .

Livi still looks more beautiful than ever and she can almost sit up by herself. Also since she just had her 6-months birthday mamma gave her a pedicure which makes her look like such a girl that she is :-)
Please pray for our little princess that God watches over her and that everything goes great so we can bring our Livi back home soon.
