Baby Christian's surgery is tomorrow at 10am. He needs all of everyone's prayers. I understand more tonight than last night about his condition. He has a narrowing of his Aorta. This causes blood to "back-up" in his heart. It may be what was causing his collapsed lungs because when the blood is backed-up in the heart too much blood can stay in the lungs. It also is most likely causing his digestive issues because there is not enough blood going into his belly to make everything run correctly. To fix this problem they will cut and remove the narrowed area and sew the Aorta back together. Master Christian only weighs 3lb 10oz, and although they would love for him to be bigger to do this surgery; it is a catch 22, how can he get bigger if he isn't digesting well?, so the surgery is necessary. He Bro's cuz, so strength (or is it stubbornness) runs in the family, Dr Gus is one of the best Pediatric Cardiac Surgeons on the East Coast, and prayer works. I will blog tomorrow and let you know how remarkable he did during surgery. Thank you for loving him too.
Brody is good today...no changes...just eating, pooping, sleeping, cooing, smiling, and snuggling. Say a prayer for Brent too, this virus cough is trying to kick his butt and he is working so hard to make sure he doesn't share with me & Bro.
