The Straw that broke my back

I'm not gonna lie today totally sucked. I guess I should back track a little. The past couple of days Davy has been not her happy self. She isn't smiling as much and she was sleeping a lot. I was thinking maybe growth spurt. She has actually been losing weight so growth spurt was my wishful thinking. Scott and I were at the hospital this morning to start learning physical therapy for Davy, we didn't even get pass introductions with the nurse, when the cardio Doctor came in to tell us there were some new findings on her Heart echo this morning. Once again, not good news. She has what is called a Coarctation of the aorta. It's when the aorta is too narrow in one spot. It basically causes Davy's heart to pump even harder to force blood through the narrow part of the aorta. Because she has this combined with the PDA she will need surgery within a week. And now cue my tears. Then to top it off she will have to be transported to another hospital to have the surgery and most likely not return to UCI. Cue more tears and my nurses tears. That was a really hard blow for me. This has been Davy's (and my home) for the past 6 1/2 weeks. The nurses know and love Davy. And now we start all over again. The only home I wanted Davy to leave UCI for is yellow and 900 square feet. The fact that Davy's nurse cried with me shows how much she really cares for her. She told me through tears how special Davy is and she is a fighter. And the other Hospital is a good Hospital(sniff sniff) and the nurses will love her there too. So there you have it, my little girl will be having her second surgery in under 2 months.
