We had a set back this morning. Tommy is back on the ventilator. Chest tubes were inserted for drainage and 180 cc of fluid came out of his chest! He is very well sedated now and mommy has a hard time not touching him (even a touch on his hand is too much). This is a common set back for open heart surgery. Even though the surgery was a success, we all know recovery is a bumpy road.
Thanks to the Eberts (Jay/Steph/and a beautifully bald Jordan) for being in our path again when we needed them. And to the Fraliks for a 'Pam' long distance hug. We will continue to keep all updated here. Thanks for continued prayers for Tommy.
