Hanging in there

Jacob's heart condition is improving and it is doubtful that a transplant is needed. Jacob is proving to be a tough little kid. His swelling has gone down a lot. After tomorrow I feel that I can rest better. I am anxious to see him wake up. No one knows if the surgery has any effect on his neurological condition. He did not go into any distress like he did after his last procedure so I don't think another stroke will be an issue, but I am keeping my fingers crossed anyway. We won't know until he is awake and completely out of sedation. He has been under so long that it may take a while to bring him out. At least things are starting to look up. I intend to make this blog inspirational and not pessimistic but we are going to have to wait until Jacob is home and I can hold him in my arms every day. Sorry folks.
