The nurse who is giving updates to all of the families in the waiting room just came around... here is the latest: Whitney is still doing well. They have finished the mitral valve repair and are now working on the two patches to repair the hole. (Dr. Brown is using pericardial tissue from Whitney's heart to form the ASD patch and the VSD patch. These patches will take care of the major hole that encompasses all 4 chambers of Whitney's heart.)

Yay, Whitney, I just heard from Grammy that you are in recovery and that your surgery went well. We love you!
Baby Whitney, I think you will feel better soon, and I want you to get growing up and be very strong. I hope you will be better and see me again in Georgia with Anne.
