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!

Hi Bonnie - Last night I saw a post from Jennifer that the surgery she (and all of us) were hoping for wasn't approved for her by the FDA. The post has been taken down. Hoping that's a good sign and that something's being worked out.  Do you have any additional info?  Praying.

I don't know the whole story, but according to Jenn's FB page, the FDA have blocked her surgery and she is now looking for another surgeon who can do something that the FDA will approve. Crazy that a government agency can decide if you get life saving surgery or not :(

Sending much hope for a great result for this brave lady.
