While I'm updating, in your prayers for Chrissie, would you please also mention two kids having open-heart surgery today with the same cardiac surgeon and cardiologist? Both have pulmonary atresia (part of what Chrissie has). One is a newborn, and the other is a 10-year-old who is having a "fixer-upper" surgery to replace some parts that they put in a long time ago.
We know Chrissie is a fighter, our Serbian Sensation. We're begging her to fight, fight, fight.
We know God is the Healer, our Jehovah Rapha. We're begging Him to heal, heal, heal.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you today and in the days to come. I ventured over from Abby's site and I know what courageous girls you BOTH have. May God look upon your little one with grace and healing hands through His physicians on Earth. I will pray for strength for you and your family as you walk this difficult path. May God give you strength and peace.
Just letting you know God has added one more to His body of believers who will be lifting you to Him...praying for you.

Lorraine,
I am new to RR yahoo group, but I wanted to let you know that I am praying ever so hard for Chrissie and your family. God is still in the healing business and He can make her whole again!
Your generous spirit amazes me. While your own baby is fighting for her life, you have asked for prayers for strangers' kids as well. They will be remembered in my prayers, too.
Your blog is posted on my facebook and Chrissie is the star of my status updates, asking all my prayer warrior friends to plead to God for her healing.
I wish I could give you a hug right now!
My daughter Johanna and I are praying for your Chrissie and the other children having heart surgery today.

Praying that our Father, the Great Physician, will heal Chrissie's body and restore her to full health.
Praying for complete healing for Chrissie and peace for your family at this time. I was sent this way from Renee's blog.
Dear Sweet Chrissie,
We (The Robertson Family) just joined together in the living room to pray for you. It is a little after 2PM the day after your surgery and we have and will stay in an attitude of prayer begging for your life. We serve a God who does the impossible every single day, so today we're asking that His favor be on you and your precious family by not only saving your life, but also healing and making your heart work perfectly. Perfect is the word that the Holy Spirit keeps pouring into my thoughts... God is perfect and he can perfect your heart. As you rest and heal may your little spirit sense the power and peace of God in your room. Our specific prayer is that you will see the angels encamped about your room and that you will feel Jesus in the bed right next to you so that when you wake - not only will you have a perfect physical heart, but also that God himself will be etching his love on that heart.
Be blessed in this journey Patterson family! We love you all,
The Robertsons

Here from the Riggs - praying for sweet precious Chrissie and your whole family. Praying that the Great Physician works through the hands of the wonderful medical staff for a swift, complete and miraculous healing of your baby girl.
Blessings.
I have added Chrissie's button to my site. Prayers for Chrissie and for her parents. Can't forget the parents in the midst of this; it is a traumatic experience for all. (I know; I have been there too many times to re-tell and definitely too many to want to re-live.)
I'm stopping by from the Riggs blog to say I am praying for Chrissie, her doctors and you. God is in control, stay strong in Him.
I am the mother of a child who needed open heart surgery. My prayers are with you tonight. I am praying that your daughter returns as alive and well as our Sophia. I am just in tears here reading your story. God Bless you all. Your faith is so inspiring.
Lorraine,
There is not a moment that goes by without thinking of dear Chrissie and you!! I pray and pray... God has you all in his arms.. Praying peace for you!
