Just a quick update that things are going well so far. There have been no complications, and it sounds like all the actual stiching up and repairs have been completed. We are now waiting to hear the results of a echogram, to see that everything is flowing well. We actually just got word that within the next two hours, she will be in recovery and Lotte and Wes will be able to go back and be with her. God os so good!
Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since...

Just saw your link to your blog on FB and read about your little niece. I've actually taken care of a lot of babies with transposition who've had this surgery and they usually do well! Praying the recovery goes quickly and smoothly!
