We will post updates here as we receive them.
5:00 pm The nurse called and said they should be finished in an hour or less.
4:04 pm Jackson is off the bypass machine. An echocardiogram was performed on his heart and was "satisfactory". They are now working to stabilize the pressures in his heart, and to stop the bleeding around his heart. The nurse said, "In other words, things are going as they should." Chest tubes will be inserted, and a decision made as to whether to close the breast bone entirely or leave it partially open for now to allow for possible swelling.
2:14 pm The arteries have been switched. The surgeon is now closing a hole between two chambers of the heart. All is still going well.
12:22 pm Everything is going well. They are starting work on the coronary arteries.
10:26 am The lines are in and everything looks good. The surgeon will take over and start the procedure.
Prayers for baby Jackson, his doctors and for you guys during his surgery! Thinking of you all. Amy McCarty

ReplyDelete"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me." The Psalmist says "walk through", not set up camp there. Hope that encourages you as it did me when I read it on someones blog today. Love and miss you so very very much.
