Good morning. Overall, Isaac is doing good. He's at high risk for pulmonary hypertension (wet lungs), but they are monitoring that very well. He is on a cooling blanket, but still has a slight fever. He had a shock to his liver during the operation and now has some elevated numbers they are following. They are suctioning him often. He's on morphine for pain and versed for sedation....and that boy is still waving his arms around...freaking the docs out...so, they increased the doses and give him a paralytic every few hours when he gets too fiesty. He has a few collaterals that need to be coiled....so, they are trying to get him back in the cath lab next week (that will be his 5th cath). Our nurse today is May...and we had her last time. It is SO COOL that we remeber so many people and that they remember us. No one can believe how fat isaac is now....and he is a little puffy today. All in all...we are so thankful for Dr. Hanley and everyone here....what an awesome gift...it's our early xmas present....and I'm glad that we got it early!
We are in the icu...so, I won't be making alot of calls...but, I'll keep updating the blog with ny cell!

Poor little fella....
it's hard seeing the babies like this... :-( I hope he's more comfortable.... I do think the first couple days after a surgery like this is very stressful....
Still thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers...
Matthew received Viagra for his pulmonary hypertension ...
the nurses used to crack up when they came to give him is Viagra!! Hee hee!!
Who is the cardiologist in charge???
Kathy, we are all so glad that the surgery went well. Between your blog and Chris, we are kept informed. Take care of that sweet baby and YOURSELF!!
I'm sure it feels so good to have the surgery part behind you. I am so happy to hear that he's doing so well. He's such a strong baby!
You guys are doing great...I know this is a stressful/worrisome time but just know that there are still a lot of people praying for ALL OF YOU.
