19/05/10:Today was the day we welcomed our much wanted little girl into the world. Raphaela Georgette was born at 2.22pm weighing in at 3.258kg. She was 53cms long and had a head circumference of 35cms.
I got a quick cuddle before the waiting team of doctors whisked her off to ICU to start her on a drip of Prostin. This drug is what was keeping her alive until her first open heart operation which is part of the Norwood Procedure. Our gorgeous girl was born with major heart abnormalities which are double outlet right ventricle, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, hypoplastic aorta arch and multiple ventricular septal defects. She will have to undergo a series of 3 operations if she has a chance of survival.
