Well they have wheeled my little peanut into surgery. He is not having the bi-directional glenn. They have decided that they are going to have Dr Cohen open up his chest so that Dr Johnston can go in and place a stint in his aortic arch. This will hopefully open up the aorta and allow better blood flow and that will in turn allow his heart to work less heard and increase his heart function. He will be evaluated for a time after this surgery to see if there is an increase in function before they go ahead with the glenn. If he happens to get too much blood thru the aorta during this procedure, then they will have to do the glenn so that he is not super blue from lack of blood flow to his lungs. Such a fine balance. I will let you all know when he is out. Please pray for his safety and for the knowledge and decisions that will be made by the medical staff.
*sigh* Now to sit and wait.......
