Stage 2 - Second Update
12:30 pm - Dr. Fraser has completed the first step of the bi-directional Glenn. He had just finished oversewing the pulmonary artery and was about to create the shunt by making an inscision in the pulmonary artery and connecting it to the superior vena cava. The nurse said Blake is doing well and we heard from another nurse that the oxygen saturation in his brain has remained good while he's been on bypass. It had taken a little longer to complete this part, but Fraser said this morning he was going to spend a good amount of time inspecting the branches and the collateral arteries before cutting, so this time lag seems in line with his game plan.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the sweet sleep Blake received last night for his big surgery day today. Throughout the surgery, please continue to hold your invisible hand over him and continue to guide the TCH staff to another successful surgery for Blake. Thank you for everything you do, we love you!
Amen
May May loves you Blakey.
All of your "adopted family" at Covenant UMC is praying for Blake and the entire family. I only hear wonderful things about our baby boy from Maja (aka, Amma). I hope that you will be holding him in your arms soon.
