Post Surgery - Day 4


Brennan is keeping up the progress. We are out of the CICU(which by the way is it's own little isolated section of the PICU just for cardiac kids, it's awesome!). We now have our own little room on the surgical unit. There's a possibility we could go home tomorrow since Brennan is already eating, pooping, and peeing really good. He just has to have a better chest x-ray. Last one was too 'fluffy' the doctors said. Just a little too much fluid in there. Another good thing is that his saturation levels are mid 90's on room air so NO MORE OXYGEN!Even when he gets really mad it doesn't drop below 90, before the shunt it would get down to 50 or so. It's amazing what a little pulmonary blood flow will do. Thanks for the continued prayers on our little man.

Wonderful, Wonderful News! He looks so content sleeping peacefully in the pictures. Okay, hoping for a good x-ray so you can go home. It will be wonderful to not have that concentrator in your home and the tubing. Go Brennan!
