Sixteen hours old

Andrew had his balloon septostomy last night. The cardiologists came to my recovery room with a report at 10:30. They had been at the hospital all day waiting for his arrival and for him to be stable enough for the procedure. 

Everything went well. They were able to enlarge a small hole that existed between the two upper chambers of his heart, doubling it's size and increasing his oxygen saturation from low 70's to upper 80's. 

I was able to visit him last night at 11pm. He is perfect. 

Andrew is no longer sedated, but is resting peacefully despite intubation. He is breathing 52% oxygen this morning. They are weaning the ventilator, but not the percent oxygen he is breathing. 

I am by his side now. Rounds will happen soon. I will update again after that occurs. 

Please pray that he can be successfully extubated soon.
