"We rejoice in these 'sufferings,' because we are confident that it is producing in us endurance, character, and hope--because God's love has been poured out in our hearts today" (Romans 5:3-5). Praise the Lord for His kindness to us, and for hearing your prayers and ours. We wanted to give a brief update on Zoe, with a more detailed one coming later in the day. Dr. Xia, Zoe's surgeon, just met with us and said that the surgery went well. Her heart started beating on its own very quickly, and is on very few heart meds at this point. He did stress that the next 24-hours are very critical as they monitor her recovery and response to the surgery. We are deeply grateful for your prayers. Please continue to intercede on her and our behalf. We'll keep in touch. Until then, press on!
