Ryder is back and settled in the PICU and is doing great!!! He went to the OR this am around 8, had his old BT shunt removed, some clot cleared out and his "Glenn" connection made. Then his pulmonary arteries were enlarged with a patch. He was on bypass for about 2 hours and aside from a little arrhythmia early in the case he has been doing well since he came back to his room at 2ish, only on a little dopamine and milrinone (blood pressure/heart support). Tonight he will be resting on the ventilator and tomorrow if all is well, the ICU team will try to wake him up a little and see if we can't get him off the vent!!
Thank you so much for the well wishes and prayers for our little warrior. We are hoping for a quiet and stable night so he can get his rest...he still has a lot of catching up to do to go home but this is a HUGE step for him to be doing so well so soon after his 2nd big surgery! Two big thumbs up for his awesome CV surgeon and ICU team!!
