It's hard to believe our handsome little boy is three months old! Every day we enjoy his sweet little smiles and coos as he becomes more interactive and aware of his surroundings. Jack truly is a gift from God! It's hard to think about how close we were to losing him a couple times.
The only visible sign of his condition is blue lips and purple hands/feet. His oxygen saturation's have been mostly in the upper 70's which is to be expected. He is up to 11 pounds! All of his cardiology appointments have been very encouraging. Jack will have to undergo a cardio cath procedure sometime in April to measure the pressure in his pulmonary artery which will let the doctors know how ready he is for the next surgery. The next surgery is called a Hemi-Fontan and it connects the superior vena cava to the pulmonary artery. After that his saturation's should be in the upper 80's!
We feel very blessed that our family has been so healthy this winter! Jack's pediatrician is insistent that he stay far away from public areas since he would have a more difficult time fighting off any illness than a normal baby. We are certainly looking forward to spring being here soon and getting out of the house more!
We really can't express enough our appreciation to everyone for praying for him. We are so blessed to have such an great community (all across the country!). We give all the glory to God for saving our precious little boy!
