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!

The correct bed number is 44... Jenn corrected that error on Facebook. If she gets as many cards as we hope then the hospital will figure out which bed Miss Jennifer Champy is in for sure! haha

Thanks, Elizabeth. Jennifer's mom just told me about 10 minutes ago that now it is bed 26 but that the hospital has promised that anything addressed to her will get to her... regardless of bed number.
