We got to Vanderbilt at 10:15 last night. The pediatric cardiology clinic had us come to the ER, since it was so late. They admitted Audrey so they could start her on IV fluids. Unfortunately they didn't have a room, so we spent the night in the ER exam room.
After all the checking in, seeing several different doctors, and going through numerous tests, Audrey was able go back to sleep about 4:15am until 7:30. Pretty unsettling for her, but given all this, we think she did great.
All the tests continue to come back good and the fever has stayed away without any medication. It's 9:30am now and Audrey is back asleep. At some point (hopefully soon) we'll start the pre-op work and the consultation with the surgeon. They've given no indication of delay, but they haven't told us we're definitely on for tomorrow. Hopefully we'll know before too long.
We assume they plan for her to spend tonight too, so we expect to be moved to a room at some point today as well. Thanks again for the prayers.

I am praying for you guys! Also, on a kind of but not really related right now note, my nephew had his cleft palate/lip surgeries at Vanderbilt when he was a baby and they were thrilled with the care they received there. I am sure the same will be true of the heart procedure, and if you need any other information for the later procedure on the lip/palate, I can give you my brother's information.
praying for you guys. Let us know if you need ANYTHING. Ted Kristen and Eliza
Our prayers are with you that God guide the hands of the surgeons, that He comforts Audrey and that He gives you peace while you wait. I love the pictures! She is adorable and we miss you guys.

We are certainly praying for precious Audrey all the way from England!!!

Thanks for the updates. She is in the best hands. God has good plans for this wee one and for you guys too! I was so happy to hear that your travel mates from England have gotten a new referral.
God will provide for them too. He is SO faithful. I'll be checking back to see how things are going.
Prayers,
Holly
