I'm so sorry to hear he's not well! Thankfully it seems you have a great NICU staff to watch over baby Liam, thoughts and prayers for you and your family!
Praying so hard for you, your family and little baby Liam. I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this.
Our 3 Precious Angels That Left Us Too Soon BFP #2-EDD 07/05/13 - Tater and Tot passed at 12w3d. D&C 1/17/13 BFP #3-EDD 12/19/13 - Peanut passed at 9w1d. D&C 05/31/13
Liam had a repeat echo and an EKG this afternoon and his heart function is worse than yesterday so they decided to do the procedure today. As of right now he is has been put to sleep and they have put a breathing tube in dh and i are waiting for another update in the waiting room.
Praying hard for Liam! And for you and your DH... Also, that the surgeon and medical staff will be able to fix everything they need to and his recovery will be easy!!!
Liam's procedure was a success, the Dr. came out with a huge grin on his face and with 2 thumbs up. We got to see a video of the balloon they inflated in his valve and one of the dye going through and showing how well his heart is functioning now.
The Dr's are really happy with how he did in the surgery and said it was the best outcome that they could have hoped for. This fix should last at least a year if not more until it has to be redone, hopefully we can get him all the way to adulthood before he has to have the whole valve replaced.
As of right now he is still asleep, they will keep him sedated until they remove the breathing tube and the central line they still have going into his leg. If he recovers well and his heart continues to function well over the next week without any issues we might be able to get him transferred back to our old NICU closer to home.
Here is a picture of my little rock star back in the nicu.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
