As with many things in life the procedure didn't go exactly as planned but the end result is baby Newman now has a hole in his atrial septum (a good thing) which is diverting extra blood from back-flowing into his lungs. This will hopefully allow his lungs to better develop and make him more stable at birth so he can make it to his first surgery. He needed 3 punctures to get the hole so has had a rough day but he is a trooper!! He had an ultrasound checkup a couple hrs ago and has a good heart rate and was starting to move around again--hoping he looks just as good tomorrow!
Again, we can't thank you enough for all the prayers, messages & well wishes :)

ReplyDeleteThat's great news. His German genes probably gave him that strength to fight! Kirsten and I have been talking about you all day long.
