UPDATE: JENNIFER'S SURGERY POSTPONED

Jennifer just posted on Facebook that her surgery has been postponed. It sounds like issues with the FDA. It could be on or two more weeks waiting. Hoping she is able to get stronger as she waits and that final approval comes in quickly. This has to be so discouraging for her and for her family and friends.

A long-time member of DoodleKisses is in the hospital and about to undergo a miraculous surgery. As many of you know Jennifer has a lot of health issues. She has a deteriorating airway and her pulmonary artery is pressing on it. It has become almost impossible for her to breathe. She was flown by air ambulance from SC to Michigan last week where a surgeon will attempt a correction for the first time on any adult.

She has been a pinnacle of bravery and inspiration to many on this site and we are excited to learn that she is about to receive this opportunity for healthier living.  The FDA has approved her surgery for Friday. 

Please send prayers or good thoughts her way as she hopes to be strong enough to undergo this procedure. We look eagerly to a future of easy breathing for Jennifer!

Jennifer is such an inspiration! I have never seen such a positive outlook on life, in spite of her very serious health issues.
I have been following her journey on FaceBook and she continues to amaze me with each and every post. Continued Prayers for Jenn and the medical experts, she so desperately needs.

Thank you, Ro! She is a gift to this world.

Mine is already in the mail ... We did this for her once before and it was fun to see all the doodle pics showing up in her room.  I also love always seeing the photos of the blanket that Laurie did for her when she was going to CO a few years ago.  Riding in the air ambulance, there was Jack riding right along with her!

Great idea, done.
