So far...

...so good! Brendan's surgery yesterday was a success! He did amazingly well being handled by all the doctors and didn't cry much. As a matter of fact, for having not eaten since 9am, he was quite content!!!

When the doctor was finally able to get the cathader into his heart she noticed that his pulmonary artery was a lot more blocked then they had first thought, so it took her much longer than she had anticipated to get a wire across the artery so that she could then inflate the balloon to pop the artery open. She finally did it, and it worked like a charm! The blood started flowing through there just as it should have!

When she finished another surgeon came in to do a lung biopsy on Brendan, and that went very well too! From what he saw he thought that the lungs looked pretty good, but we have to wait for the officially report to come back.

What this all hopefully means is that the increased blood flow from his heart to his lungs should help his lungs to recover from his lung disease faster. That should hopefully mean that they can wean him off of his oxygen and nitros and then we can hopefully, and finally hold him!

The next few days are going to be a little rough on Brendan, but hopefully he will recover from the surgery quickly, and then we'll talk with the doctors and see what the next step is, but so far all of your prayers and good wishes are working!
