Hudson's surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow at 2 pm. We are very thankful that there was an opening in the schedule so soon (because this morning it looked like they weren't going to be able to do it until possibly next week). Dr. Pigula and his team will perform an arterial switch procedure with repair/closure of Hudson's VSD. The surgical time averages around 6 hours. Again, please pray for the team's endurance, concentration, and steadiness, and wisdom in their surgical decisions. Obviously tomorrow will be a tough day for everyone, so please pray that we would all be able to trust God, receive patience from Him, and be filled with a spirit of peace.
Kelly woke up this morning feeling much better, fever gone, but she is still in a lot of pain. She's being treated for endometritis. However, despite this, it's been a good day with both babies. Because they didn't think that the surgery would be until later, Hudson got to breastfeed for the first time, and did really well. That was good to see since he probably won't get to traditionally feed again for at least another 4 days after surgery, and has to be NPO after midnight. Harper is also doing very well.
We'll try to keep the blog updated with new news as it arrives tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's prayer and support!
