Just wanted to let you all know that my little baby Stella was born on thursday Feb 28th at 10:27 am.  There were no complications and she was breathing on her own, even let out a little cry.  The team of doctors were standing by and immediately took her (that was sad) they paralyzed her as they didn't want her to breath on her own untill they knew what they were dealing with.  Many tests have been done, and they are almost sure its her diaphragm. It seems it either was never developed on the right side, or it came apart (on the right side) and was pushed way over to the right of the chest.  Because of this the liver came up and into the lung. This is fixable with either a cows diaphragm or a material called Gortex, which they can construct a new diaphragm out of.  Its all pretty overwhelming, but were all hanging in there.  They (the surgens) will be doing exploritory surgery on Stella Monday (tomorrow) to see if indeed this is the problem..and fix it.

Sarah is doing good, staying as strong as she can..I am so proud of her, she did great considering it was a long hard labor, 2 1/2 days! 

I know all will work out, and stella will be fine through this operation...but please say an extra prayer for her on Monday March 3rd.
