After meeting with the cardiologists, Jack's surgeon has decided to send him home on oxygen. He has been constantly on one liter of oxygen for the past day and has not had any episodes of de-saturation. They think that the extra oxygen is relaxing his pulmonary vessels which allows his blood to flow the way it should. Dr Devejian wants Jack to be monitored through the weekend and then come home to get bigger! The hope is that keeping him on oxygen will allow him to come home and grow more so that he is a better candidate for the Hemi-Fontan surgery in the next several weeks.
Jack is quite comfortable in the PICU. It probably helps that he is a favorite among the nurses who all love to come play with him!
Thanks for praying for him. Please continue to do so! I will update when we have more news of his next surgery.
Strolling through the PICU & flirting with the nurses. :)
