The same nurse came out and said that Evan is on bypass and Dr. Hirsch is currently performing the Hemi.  Everything is going exactly as planned! When I heard that they had just gotten Evan on the bypass machine and started the surgery I was instantly worried… “what on earth is taking so long,” I […]

Evan did so great while waiting for the anesthesia team to take him back.  There was a bit of a delay and they got him at about 1.  A surgical nurse practitioner updated us at around 3 and said that so far everything was going as planned but that they had just begun the actual […]

The first case is running late do we’re waiting in pre-op. Always with that foot in the air. 🙂

I haven’t prayed much throughout everything.  I don’t know why that is.  Well, I do know why but some things should stay personal.  I cannot thank everyone enough for all of their prayers, wishes, thoughts, vibes, everything positive.  Right now I do need to pray several prayers.  I am a very worried mother and I’m […]

My family celebrates more on Christmas Eve so we loaded up the car with baby stuff, gifts, and dogs and headed on up.  First stop was Grandma Nan’s house.  We got there early and beat the rush of ~20 people who would be showing up.  Cousin Morgan helped to open Evan’s presents while Aunt Kate […]

Have a safe and happy holiday!                

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve made a post… sorry about that. Here’s what has gone on the last few weeks… Since the G-tube surgery Evan has continued to gain weight very steadily. In the last two weeks he’s gained a pound. His current weight is about 14 lbs 12 ounces. Feeding orally has […]
