Alex did very well yesterday. It was a long day, we had an arrival time of 11:30, start time of 2:30 and finished just after 4. The left pulmonary artery is very small in one part and they were able to place a stent, which will hopefully allow more blood flow to get to the lungs and help the artery grow. We will have to keep a close eye on things over the next few months. His blood count was low with the pre-op blood work and dropped some during the procedure so he did require a blood transfusion. He had to stay overnight since they placed the stent, but did very well and actually slept 4.5 hours straight! Big success, considering at home he usually wakes up to nurse every 3 hours. Likely just from the anesthesia, but Mommy is hoping this is a new trend! We were discharged this morning and are already home. We have to follow up in 2 weeks and will be sure to keep the blog updated with any new findings.
A big thanks to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate all of the support. Go Team Alexander!
Love,
Bobby, Erica, Ben and Alex
