Not quite where we want to be

They had to start using the temporary pace maker on Graham last night. Because there is so much swelling in the heart it is not communicating well and needs help pacing. They stopped the pace maker mid-morning but Graham's heart is continuing to beat too fast and off rhythm because of swelling. The docs say it takes time to correct itself and they have him on several medications to help. We will be here longer than they first thought. He is also not urinating as much as they would like even though they are giving him Lasix. Praying for wisdom for the doctors, for all the meds to be dispensed correctly and do their job, and for good pain management.

Graham sleeping in dad's arms before surgery. An answer to prayer!


Graham right after surgery, still on the ventilator.


Off the ventilator and back to the paci!
