NICU day 34

More prayers needed, the PDA (the valve in the heart that is open in the womb but is suppose to close after birth) they said closed either reopened or never closed. It is now a large PDA and causing the left side of Jillian's heart to become enlarged. They are considering surgery to close this valve. This is actually very common in a lot of preemies however they are not comfortable operating with her on the jet (her chest vibrates 420 per minute) and their other concern is that she is also requiring a lot of vent support already and the babies usually require more support postoperative. So they are repeating her echo tomorrow after giving her a diaretic for 24 hours to see if that helps. Please pray for my little girl.
