These are pictures taken right after the procedure. They wouldn't let me in to watch the closing of his chest, so I didn't take too grusome of pictures. The picture on the right is when they were inserting a feeding tube so he will hopefully be able to get some milk! The picture on the left is the way he looks right now...LIKE A STUD!
We were notified by our nurse last night that they were planning on closing Kayden's chest. We then got a call at about midnight informing us that they were planning on closing it at 9:00 (this morning). We arrived just as they were finishing, and overall, he is doing pretty well. Dr. Burch said that "the closure went excellent". His blood pressure has been doing a lot better, but since he is sedated, it is having a hard time staying up where it needs to be.
Part of his lung is having a tendency to want to collapse, but they are working to fix that. The nurses said that this could be caused by the fluid that they are hearing, as well as the small holes that are present in the wall separating the right and left ventricles (VSD, ASD). They are monitoring it well though, and we are grateful to have more great nurses today!
