Day 3 Final Update

Blake has had a great day. They are lowering the rate of his respirator to stimulate his own breathing rate. He seems to be responding well and starting to take his own breaths. They hope
tomorrow to turn it down to the lowest level in an effort to take the ventilator off completely.

His cardiologist came by and told us everything looked great and we were almost out of the woods. Our boy is a fighter and he is doing so well.

We also got to meet little Henry Johnston, a handsome 14-month old boy, who has undergone 2 of the 3 surgeries for HLHS. He was such an inspiration to see what a healthy, happy, and normal kid he is.

Thanks again for everyone's well wishes.

We are so happy to see the progress that our little man has made. He comes from good stock and fighters. Like Dr. Stacy said "He's Mighty Mouse II. He might be small, but he's strong." We love you and can't wait to hold you in our arms. All our love.
