Update #3

We just got word that the truncus repair is complete. The VSD was repaired as I mentioned in the previous post and a 12mm Contegra graft was placed. They are waiting on cardiology to come and do a transesophageal echo, which will take 3D images of his heart and each of the chambers to see how well the repair has worked. If all looks good he will come off of bypass! This is the part that scares me the most. The next update we should receive is whether the removal from bypass was successful.  Please say a prayer this next hour goes well and our sweet boy does not require ECMO.

I am so thankful he is doing so good thus far. Your prayers are working friends! Please keep them coming! The next hour is going to be tense while we await word of how his removal from bypass went. So keep those prayers coming!
