POST #7
Tuesday, August 29
Helena came out of surgery at 12:45 pm today; she is in recovery, and in critical condition, but doing very well.
This morning, Aaron and Mary met the surgeons who would be operating on Helena, and Aaron thanked Dr. Ilbawi for his efforts on Helena's behalf. "It's the least I can do," he said. By 8:30 am Helena was under anesthesia, and first incision was made. The family received hourly reports throughout the morning, all of which were positive. The surgery took about five hours, less than Mary and Aaron were told to expect. The surgeon's were very pleased with how it had gone.
The next few hours will be especially critical, and Helena will likely remain in critical condition for the next week or so.
More later today.

Dear Mary and Aaron-
You have been on my mind and in my prayers ever since I got the first news. Helena is beautiful and I am so glad that the surgery went well. It's great to be able to get such current updates. Thank you for the blog Karla. I am grateful to be able to join with all of the amazing communities that are supporting you and praying for you.
With love, Jody
Aaron and Mary-
It's been years since I've seen you both - and hadn't even heard about the pregnancy until last week from Rita. But I just want you to know that I'm praying for all of you and know that God has His almighty hand in this - protecting and loving all three of you! God Bless!

We're keeping tabs on how things are going with you all. It sounds like the surgery went well...that's wonderful! You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Aaron, Mary, Pastor John and Judy,
Congratulations on the birth of little Helena Katharine ! She is so beautiful !
Words cannot tell you how sorry we are that you all need to face this difficult situation ! We were happy to see how well the surgery went today and pray that her recovery is speedy. We understand how difficult it is to watch and wait for surgery results of one's child, and ask God's blessings on all of you as well as little Helena !!
Love, Dean and Jan
Mary, my little Mary, I've just finished reading everything. The prayer request came via two sources, but seeing you and the photos posted made it all more real and much closer to home - if you can understand that. Of course, all three of you are in our prayers. When have we not cared about you. Praise God, He is a God of miracles. With much love, Sharon and Larry
Hi Mary & Aaron,
Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful Helena Katharine! The pictures are great. To see little Mary as a mother!! (I forget you've grown up!) Our prayers and love are with you all during this difficult time. God is good and will be there to uplift you all! I'm so glad your mom is there with you, Mary. I know how much that must mean to you. Family means so much in a time like this. May God's Love and peace be with you all.
Armas & Pat Aho
