Tucked in for the night. Macsen ate twice but that sedation was pretty heavy and he has yet to completely wake up. Apparently he started to wake towards the end of his cath and they gave him another dose of ketamine. It is still working on him 9/10 hrs later. Miss his little peepers but glad during the 6 hrs of "flat time" time he needed to stay flat on his back and not move his legs much - tough for a 5 month old baby to do- he was deeply asleep so didn't get freaked out.
He is the first case tomorrow so they will take him from us around 7:45. I am so ready for all of this to be over- just take him so we can be that much closer to you bringing him back. We have been warned that he may have a lot of swelling in his head and upper body and added "blueness." He may also be in a significant amount of pain from the increase in pressure to his head before his body equalizes.
We will find out tomorrow if he will get the BiDirectional Glenn or HemiFontan by DrSpray. Same results - different approach.
Praying tonight
Prayers going up for Dr. Spray & his team, for the surgery to go better than expected with zero complications, for zero infections, for Macsen to experience no discomfort, and for you & Aaron to feel comforted, supported, loved, sure, confident, and calm as you wait for his return. I will be monitoring FB & the blog for updates. Love you! Xoxoxo
