On January 27th, 2008 we were faced with the most difficult news of our lives. We found out that our little boy had a CHD. Later tests revealed that he had Tricuspid Atresia and that it was treatable with a series of three open heart surgeries. Jacob had his first surgery (PA BAND) on July 30, 2008, his second (Bi-directional Glenn)on March 13th, 2009 and his final surgery (Fontan) on March 8th, 2011. Jacob will be 4 years old on July 6th, 2012 and is a big ball of continuous energy.

He is back in the OR
They told us it would take an hour to an hour and a half to get the lines started. They will let us know when the surgeon makes the incision to start getting to the heart. Been pretty tough this morning, had another anxiety attack when we got here, long story short I ended up in Jacobs bed. Just pray because it's going to be a long day. Jacob kept telling me that it would be ok.....so sweet and brave.

I will be praying for your family today.
ReplyDeleteSending our prayers for you all especially your amazing little boy. As a Dad of 9 year old and 7 year old little boys, I can't even imagine what you are going through. I get so nervous and upset when one of them gets a fever or the flue.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to have the faith and trust in Jesus that your son has. It Will be ok Daddy! Our Savior will watch over the situation and he will be at your side and guide you through this. I just wish that there was something else that I could say or do to comfort you all at this time. May the peace of God be with you at this time.
You guys have been in our thoughts and prayers all day!!!
ReplyDeleteFriends and Co-workers of Grandma Connie are praying and thinking of you all today....we are anxiously awaiting wonderful news!!! Prayers!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how emotional I got reading these updates! I have two small girls, one who will be three in April. I read the stories about Jacob and think about her being in his situation, and I break. You two are very strong, supportive parents and Jacob deserves you two so much. It's so awesome that even through all of this he can still have a sense of humor. My family and I will be praying for you every day!
