Good and Bad news

Bad news - Gabriel had a ultrasound of his heart today. He is having severe-very severe leakage between the valves. This will not require him to go back into surgery right now but it is going to have to be watched CLOSE! Therefore we will be having very regular doctor appointments still. We have to watch for all of the same signs we had to watch for before his surgery of congestive heart failure. They are not sure if it will get better or worse. We have a thousand questions but the doctor that told us about the ultrasound did not know any of the answers. We were assured that this will not prolong his stay here but may require more surgery down the road. Gabe and I don't do so well with unanswered questions. Unanswered questions on top of lack of sleep on top of being in a small room hours on end create VERY CRAZY people.

Still throwing food up. GROSS!

Good news - They believe that they are going to release Gabriel tomorrow. He is going to have a visiting nurse to help make sure he is doing well. We can't wait to be home where we can cuddle our little man for hours on end. Cross your fingers for tomorrow! Everything else came out today. He is not attached to anything except his feeding tube and he came in with that.

It is late, I am tired so this will be cut short.

  1. I'll be praying that things improve on their own and that you get the answers that you're looking for.

    Here's hoping that you get to go home tomorrow.

  2. I'm praying that God will heal his little heart, and that he will give the Purdy's faith.
