Another day down...

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.”

He did it again! He pulled through another surgery. I couldn't have asked for it to go better. He had to be put back on the oscillator vent and he is back on his blood pressure medications for now but they will wean him down and hopefully in a couple of days he will be back on the regular ventilator. They were able to put his bowel back together and they put in a feeding tube. They will do a procedure next week to make sure he is not leaking at the sites where they put things back where they go but other than that we wait. We will wait for a return of bowel function and once he shows that we can hopefully feed him! How exciting!

Kyle and I were so relieved to hear this news. He is still quite sick but I feel as if there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Dr. Gosain, his surgeon, was hopeful that this would be his last procedure for quite some time. We will give him time to feed and grow big and strong before his heart surgery.

Another roller coaster of a day. A big thank you to all of our Finn supporters out there. I know that your thoughts and prayers are felt by us all. I couldn't be more proud of our little boy. He has such courage.
