Update number three . . .

Hi everybody! It's Kathleen!

My little fighter is something else! What a strong baby. Seriously, I can't stress that enough!

So far so good with the way things are looking for him. He is fighting very high blood pressure (supposedly even since the end of surgery) But the doctors and nurses are attempting to get it under control, it just might take a while for it to level off. Other than that, he's doing good.

They're slowing weaning from the ventilator with doctors hoping he'll be extubated this evening or no later than tomorrow morning.

If things continue to progress in the positive direction, there is talk of MAYBE being home by this weekend or early next week. WHOA! I can't begin to fathom that.

I will be taking pictures this time... (something I didn't do after his Norwood) So weary eyes be forewarned. I want to post them because this blog is not only for all of you to read, but it also acts as a journal for Andrew and I as we make this journey with Tyler.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers today! Love you all.

Good news that the surgery went well. That will be awesome if he gets to go home that soon. You guys did a great job keeping him well and getting him strong to face this surgery.
Take care.
