It's that time!!!

We are home from Phoenix. Children's! Brody came home with oxygen onn fr his cath, he is outgrowing his shunt, the shunt is how blood goes to his lungs to be oxygenated. He is now 11 lbs vs 7.5 when it was put inn, so more blood and body to oxygenate! His oxygen dropping is a classic sign that he is ready for the next surgery! His cardiac team apparently isn't wasting anytime! We meet with the surgeon tomorrow , he will be prepped with bloodworkand meds Friday then his second open heart will be Monday at 10:30!! I can't believe it's already that time! We are nervous and anxious to get it over with!! Hoping he will be feeling much better after this surgery!! More blood and oxygen should make him a much happier camper!!! Remember this is where they take out the shunt that goes from his ventricle to his pulmonary artery, they will patch that up so to speak and connect his superior vena cava to his pulmonary artery! This means he will be much much more oxygenated! Hopefully he will be pink instead of blu!!! Baby blu hopefully will be pink by Monday!!! Thank you to my wonderful family for their unconditional support! This has been the most difficult thing We have ever had to experience, having the support we do makes all the difference! Love to all, God is great!!!
