The heart echo results looked better today!! Thank you for all the prayers! Please keep it up! The pressures in his heart and lungs looked better!! His PDA valve was still open but classified as a moderate opening instead of a large opening like it was on Monday.
They are going to wean him off of his nitric by Friday. Right now it is at a 5. You have to slowly wean from 5 to none whereas they dropped it from 20 to 5 overnight.
They will do another heart echo on Friday and decide if they need to go in and close the PDA. If they have to go in and close the PDA, the cardiac surgeons will come to the bedside and it will only take about 30 minutes from start to finish!! Fairly simple procedure.
Thank you again for all the visits, cards, gifts and especially all the prayers. Please keep praying! We love you all!
