That 45 minutes of waiting went by so fast. We spent the whole time in the chapel, praying for James. All the sudden the phone rang and we heard that everything went well.
James was pretty much out when we went back to his room. James is usually a pretty feisty, rowdy little boy. It was weird to see him .......well... out of it. I was able to hold his hands without getting kicked, haha :)
James' grandma took a picture of him while he was having tummy time. The white tape is where the surgeon made the incision for the ligation of the PDA.
James was up to 100% of O2 after the surgery. The team had to increase the pressure of the jet ventilator to support his breathing. James also had multiple chest X-ray to check his lungs. The nurse said they don't look that great but hopefully as the time goes on James' lungs will look better.I went up to the hospital after work. The plan for James for the rest of the evening is to give him blood transfusion, fluid, pain medication, monitor his output, respiratory status, chromosome test... and everything else.
Hoping for a better recovery day, and thank you for all family and friends who have been praying for us.
