Rosie's Op.
UPDATE 3
Rosie is off the artificial heart and lungs now, and getting by solely on her own strength. Her heart is still a bit weak. We're just taking things one step at a time, one day at a time.
HUGE thanks to all those who have sent messages - we really appreciate all your kind words - they have helped keep us going when we have been down.

UPDATE 2
Again, a little bit of progress. Rosie's heart is getting better, but she is having some problems with her lungs. We are hoping and praying she will be out of danger in a day or two.
UPDATE
She's doing a bit better - her heart has started pumping much better. There are still things to worry about, but she is fighting hard, and slowly progressing in the right direction. We have faith in her.
ORIGINAL POST
For anyone checking this to see how Rosie is doing, I'm afraid the news is not good. The operation did not go well, and we are now just hoping and praying that she will be OK. We will know within the next few days if she will survive.
