***Update on Baby Alex***

Monday night 9/12

---

 

Here is the "news" the I got from Daddy Kirk tonight

 

"Alex had a double Aortic Arch repair today. 

First they went into his heart from the left side of the body. 

They then cut out the bad part and spliced the two ends of the artery together. 

Second, they  split his chest and exposed the top of the heart. 

Using the piece that they cut out in the first incision they split open the artery and grafted in a piece. 

By using his own body parts, his artery will grow with him and he should not have any problems in the future.
 

His feet, fingers and lips are pink now, not blue.
Which thrills Momma and me very much. 

He is responding very well to the 19 medications that he is on. 

The drainage tubes are all the right colors and consistencies. 

Hopefully in two or three days he will be moved out of ICU. "
