Day 2 of life

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” 
― Shel Silverstein

It was a good day today. Finn surprised everyone, including the entire medical team. He needed less oxygen throughout the day and started wiggling his fingers and toes! Kyle and I held his hand on and off throughout the day and it felt so good to see him somewhat responsive.

His heart took a bit of a "hit" yesterday. It improved on this morning's echo but cardiology was thinking it would be safest for Finn to wait one more day for him to return to surgery to put back together what was taken apart yesterday.

I will say that the "ups" really are ups and the "downs" hit rock bottom in this experience. Our hopes are high today. We are preparing ourselves for a big day tomorrow pending another echo in the morning that looks favorable. Please have Finn in your close thoughts, prayers, good karma sending,  etc tomorrow as he endures another operation.
There is no doubt that he will continue to fight. Thanks to everyone for your ongoing support. Until tomorrow....
