Surgery updates

849: update Blaise is back in the recovery room with us. His heart did great during surgery. He was very stable and oxygen saturations are ranging in the mid 80's which is great!! He's still very sleepy and out of it, so we will let him rest. We are beyond grateful to our wonderful friends family and communities for the prayers and support! This kiddo keeps showing us how incredible he is, and God's blessed us more than we can imagine!
740: update Praise the Lord! When the surgeon got in and put him under the serious issue requiring three hour surgery corrected itself when he was fully under and relaxed. They will not be performing surgery on this!!!!! So the simpler 1/2 hour surgery is all that's needed. He's doing good. Prayers work, miracles happen daily!
F7:00 am update We were up early at 445 and checked in by 530. Blaise was very nervous and scared. He watched Peterson farm brothers on iPad. They did give him some verses about 10 minutes before they took him and it's starting to kick in. He cried as they wheeled him away, but nurse came back to say he had quit. His nurse in operating room is named peg and her grandkids call her Mona peg just like Blaise does!!! Great sign!!!! We are waiting for first updates and will continue to update this blog post at the top. We know he's in God's hands and all will go fine!!! Thanks for the prayers!

One week away!!


Hard to believe it's less than a week until Blaise's surgery. A quick update as to what's been happening. Sutton came down with a fever Sunday night and Monday and I immediately freaked out hoping Blaise wouldn't get it. Her temp was at 104 even on medicine. After squeezing in a quick stop at the pediatrician on Monday and an amox prescription, we headed to Omaha to get professional pics of the kids. I felt bad making a super sick Sutton go through it, but I really wanted pictures of Blaise before surgery. Luckily by Tuesday afternoon Sutton was back to normal and Blaise played in his first t ball game that night!! We are so proud of him he did great. This is the only game he'll get to do as he wont be able to after surgery. Wednesday night we ran to pediatrician for his pre-op apt. He weighed 31.6 lbs at 11% percentile and 40 inches I think 35%. He also did his preschool physical. He passed for surgery as long as he stays healthy. After his appointment Mike and I took both kids to the pool to squeeze in as much pool time before he can't swim for four weeks. Thursday night the kids and I went swimming again. Blaise has also been super timid in the water but is blowing bubbles and jumping in from the side. Sutton is unstoppable in the water and loves every second. 

We are currently in the car headed to Wichita Kansas for a wedding this weekend. We ask for continued prayers this weekend for great family time and continued health of Blaise leading up to surgery. We have pre checked in over the phone and have our room reserved at the rainbow house for Wednesday  night since we have to be at children's at 5:30 am Thursday. We also have our fetal echo Wednesday at children's so prayers for a healthy baby as well.
