Recovery

Owen is stable and doing well! We got word at 8pm that he came off of heart/lung bypass okay. Then at 9 we got an update from his surgeon that he was stable and doing well. He is on a ventilator for a few days and his sternum will remain open until Wed or Thur of this week. Then they will close him up and start getting him breathing on his own. NOTHING could prepare us for the first time we saw Owen post op. He has his own nurse caring for him in the PICU and he is sedated. The next 24-48 hours are critical and we can only pray that he will be alright. He is a strong little man and we are confident that he is going to fight through this.

We LOVE you Owen!!!

I opted not to post any post op pictures as they are pretty intense. We'll post more pictures as soon as he is looking a little better.

Thank you so much for the update. Patricia and I are praying for Owen, you, and the care team.

We can only imagine how difficult this must be for you.

May God bless you and give you hope.
