I am so very sorry that I am just now updating on Rhae. Below is an email that Dana sent for me to pass along to everyone else. Thank you all for your concerns, calls and prayers. We are so fortunate to have baby Rhae part of our lives.

God is good! Dr. Esposito came in a little while ago and said Rhae's arm has a small callous forming so we will not do surgery as this is an indicator of healing. She is having a custom-made brace put on and he said we should expect it to take about another 2 weeks to heal. Her lungs still showed a little infiltrate from the pneumonia, so I guess it's good we are not having surgery after all. We were worried about her heart being a little enlarged so they did an echo which was essentially normal but did show a small hole at the top which he said was a little prolapse into one of the valves Her heart size was ok, but because of the deep sinking in of her chest (pectus excavatum), it is pushing her heart back and to the side which makes it look enlarged. Dr. E is having a cariothoracic surgeon look at her xrays for ideas. We are currently waiting on him to finish a case and come back and see what he thinks about the brace so we canbe cleared to go. Thank you all for your prayers.
