Update on Holden’s Surgery

Holden’s PDA Surgery went well. Although we may not know for weeks if it will reduce the pressure in his lungs, Doctors were pleased to see that when they tied off the valve, his systemic pressures increased (which they say is a good sign). Holden is now in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and resting well. For now, he is sedated and still on the ventilator. If all goes well, he will hopefully come off the vent tomorrow and be breathing on his own with continued oxygen support. He will likely be in the CICU for several days, before he’s stable enough to be moved to a private room.

Mommy and Daddy survived the stress of the day and found great strength in everyone’s prayers. We can not thank you enough for the support. The Angels were truly looking out for our little monkey today! We’ll try to post updates every day or so, as things progress.
