We just got word from the transport team that they will start loading Emma Kate up in about an hour (2:15pm cst). The nurse practitioner believes that they will be taking her by ambulance because she is stable and not on a ventilator. I will be following the ambulance so I can be with EK when she gets to the hospital.
For those of you wondering, Emma Kate will be in the Cardiac ICU at the Children's Hospital of Atlanta/Egleston. We are still not sure when her surgery will be but believe it will be Friday or Monday at the latest. We will know more when the surgeons in Atlanta have a look at her.
She has done so well so far and we are very hopeful that this will continue. We are getting close to the Norwood which has me a little freaked out. It is just so weird because she seems so perfectly healthy. But I know that inside her little heart needs help. Please keep praying that she will handle everything as well as she has been and that mommy and daddy will be able to handle it as well. We are definitely hanging in there and appreciate all of your support.
I will try to update tonight after she gets settled in Atlanta.

We love you guys so much, and are so proud of how you are handling everything! I will see you all tomorrow evening at the latest!! I know that it is scary thinking about what's coming up, but just think of it as one step closer to making your perfect little Emma Kate that much healthier! We are all praying for you, Bethany, Emma Kate, and all of her doctors and the entire medical staff. Just remember that God has a plan, and this is it. Emma Kate is doing so well so far, and she will continue to do so as she is surrounded by so much love!! Such a little beautiful fighter. Just know you guys will have quite a little Miss Priss on your hands when she gets older. I'm thinking she's already got the Keisler stubborness!! I love you and I'll see you soon!
