As most of you know, William Blake Galligan joined our family at 6:10 AM on Tuesday, April 29. Born at 35 weeks, he is a beautiful and sweet boy and we are so lucky to welcome him to our family.
On April 30, Blake was diagnosed with a rare heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. This condition is very serious, and is going to require a series of 3 surgeries over the first 2 years of his life. We are very lucky that the doctors caught it so early. We decided that we wanted his surgery performed at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston because they are renowned for their successful treatment of this condition.
Today, May 2, Blake was transferred from Austin via Star Flight to TCH. We had been waiting to transfer him until Tiffany was released from the hospital. Bryan went to Houston last night to be there when Blake arrived, and Tiffany saw him off from Austin. The trip was a success, and he is now resting comfortably in the NICU waiting for another round of assessment from his new team of doctors.
We will keep you posted as we hear more. Everybody has been so kind and gracious; please keep praying for us. This little guy is a fighter and he has a lot of people in his corner, we appreciate your support.
