Surgery a sucess

[caption id="attachment_24" align="alignleft" width="453" caption="doing great after his first surgery"]doing great after his first surgery[/caption] Isaac made it through the PDA was actually pretty big the surgeon said it was as big as his aorta so no wonder he had low blood pressure. God is so great and we are so blessed and apprecite all the prayers. Please continue to pray because we have a long way to go but this surgery will make it a lot better and an easier journey.

First surgery

Isaac has his first surgery scheduled for 8:30 this morning to close off the PDA in his heart.
It is not like a normal heart surgery cracking open the rib cage and all they will go in his
side/back through a small hole and since the picc line didn't work because his veins are just
too fragile they will put a line in his chest through the same place they do the surgery so it
will be as minimally invasive as you can get with a preemie so as not to cause stress and
bleeding in his brain. Well I'm off to fight traffic and sign consent forms. Thanks for all the
prayers.
