3:30-Surgery has begun!
We just wheeled Abby down to the or. The anasthesiologist gave us a run down about what he's going to be doing. It just sounded so scary. We saw them carry the heart in, and yes....it was in a cooler. We had to say give our hugs and kisses and "I love you's" to Abby. I can honestly say that walking out that door and leaving Abby was the hardest thing I've had to through all of this....the hardest thing I've done in my life. I just feel like the worst mom ever because I can't just stay with her when she needs me the most. I hate this........I just want it to be over. Please bless the doctors to use their knowledge to perform the surgery without any problems...... Please bless Abby's little body to accept the new heart........Please bless Abby to sleep through the whole thing and not be scared, at all......Please bless Britt and Brock and I to have the strength to make it through the next 6 hours......Please, please, please let everything be okay. I will be pacing until I get an update.......did I say how much I hate this???

The tears are streaming down my face. I can't imagine having to do that. There is so much love all over St. George right now...at the radio station and Fargo's and all OVER Facebook and in a tour bus in Kansas with total strangers who were just asked to pray for her. Hang tough.

I can assure you as a heart recipient myself that after you left her side for surgery Abby was comforted by doctors, nurses and angels. I pray for a perfect heart and a speedy recovery. Miracles happen every day and she has a bright future ahead of her. I wish you all the best. Much love
