Ryker's surgery went really good! Even Dr. DelNido that doesn't use the word "good" (he usually says "it went okay") said it went Good! :) He said Ryker handled the surgery better this time than he did with any of his prior surgeries. They did end up needing to repair the AV Valve during the surgery, which meant that he had to go onto bypass so that made the waiting period for Jason & I 100 times more stressful, but our tough little baby boy made it through it all once again with flying colors, thanks to everyone's prayers & positive thoughts! So thank you all so much & Thank you God!! Dr. DelNido said the left pulmonary veins look good, he cleaned them out really good & didn't seem too concerned about them, so we are PRAYING that they stay that way!! He tightened up the PA band good & now we are just crossing our fingers as they start 2ml of pedialyte per hour in his feeding tube. As of yesterday Dr. DelNido said he wouldn't want him extubated unless he was at least -100 on his fluid balance & tonight he is at -200!!! :) GOOD JOB RYKER!! So they are saying extubation tomorrow, but I will say Monday just because I know my sweet baby & he doesn't like to be rushed! :) So please pray for a smooth extubation process & that Ryker's recovery will continue to go great!
Here is a photo of our sweet little baby Ryker before he went into surgery.
Your wee man is just too darn cute. I've been watching his story for...quite awhile now. (Not sure how long.) I can't believe how strong the wee man is, and how he fights for every bit!
