Surgery Day
Gavin was taken back around 10 am this morning for his surgery; the doctor came out around 2:30 pm to say he had finished the surgery and that Gavin was doing well. The surgery took longer than expected because the new shunt (see postings from January 24th & 25th) was under the breastbone instead of on the left side of the heart so the doctor had to reposition the shunt; this wasn't expected so it took the doctor longer to perform the surgery. Currently, the nurses are trying to stabilize his blood pressure. Gavin will stay heavily sedated and on the ventilator for the rest of today; the plan is to start weaning him off tomorrow. Adam and Faith have been to see Gavin and they seem to be holding up as well as can be expected. The family appreciates all the prayers being said and support being provided! Please continue to pray for Gavin's recovery, for Adam and Faith and for the doctors and nurses attending Gavin. God is good! - Aunt Tara
