These cuties came over for a visit with us and meet up with child life, who explained heart surgery and hospital things in terms little people can understand. Luke and Fiona have been doing so well and we are very proud of them. They were great little doctors and had a great time with their new dolls and medical bags. They did not see Andrew, but we are anxious for Andrew to progress to the place where they can see their brother.
Today, Andrew did get two of the four chest tubes removed. He had an artery line removed and his urine catheter removed. He did well with all of this. He is still experiencing a bit of irregular rhythm, but his other vitals have remained stable in spite of this. He has tried to wake up a few times, but he's showing us that he's not quite ready to come off the vent. The doctors and nurses are watching him carefully and waiting for Andrew to show us he's ready to move forward. We are trying to be patient, but as you might imagine, we are ready to interact with our boy. Our hearts ache for his healing. Thank you so much for continuing to pray for him and our family!
