All of our prayers must have worked. Cameron decided he didn't need to have surgery after all. The docs did one last Echo this morning to make sure the PDA was still there, which is standard practice before a surgery. They wouldn't want to go in and try to close something that closed on it's own, after all.
So despite it being a 'moderate' size on Wednesday, as of this morning, it was closed! We are very thankful that he does not have to undergo surgery, at least for now. There is a small chance that the valve could re-open and surgery would be necessary down the road, but for now he doesn't need it.
He is doing really good today, and we're hopeful they will be able to start coming down on his ventilator settings soon. Thanks for all your positive thoughts!

ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I just got your blog link from Andrea! Congratulations on the birth of your baby. What an ordeal! I'm so glad your little boy is such a fighter and I hope he comes home soon. My own daughter Eva was born at 29 weeks and spent 42 days in the NICU. At almost 5 she is smart, healthy and perfect, you would never know she was a preemie. I feel so blessed. I'm sending you my love and prayers. Email me any time! Love, Jen G
