Nicholas in Surgery

  • 9:53 - Nicholas is out of surgery! He did well. The doctor says he's a "good boy." :-) The entire surgery took 15 minutes and went well. He'll be in the operating room for another hour recovering. Then he'll go back to the NICU. Sarah says they'll be home in VT within 4 days. Again, the doctor said that this was a needed surgery. They expect that this will help the blood get to where it needs to go in his system so that he can keep getting better!
  • 9:14 - They just made the incision. Praying that his surgery goes as quickly and easily as the girls'.
  • 8:55am - Just got a call from Sarah - She says Nicholas is being stabilized and prepped for surgery.
  • Nicholas went into surgery at 8:20 this morning. Sarah will keep me posted, and I'll let you all know as soon as I have more information.

    Love,
    Gretchin
