[SIZE=10pt]Hi all-[/SIZE]
Once again I come to this forum to ask for your prayers and good thoughts tomorrow as my newest grandson under goes heart surgery for aortic stenosis. Noah David was born last Wednesday. We've known for quite a while that he has heart problems. This is really scary - to think of this little 7 lb baby going into surgery. He'll have to have a more complicated surgery between the age of 1 and 2.
He is a real doll, looks like a grownup. Erin had a c-section so he didn't have any head trauma. I'll post pictures once he is free of wires and tubes. All we could do was rub his little forehead as he can't be picked up accept for feeding. His respiration is very irregular.
The power of this forum helped bring my 4-legged Dawn through her ordeal - now I need it for my Noah. Thanks in advance - I'll try to update tomorrow. His mom and dad are really nervous.

Update: Noah had his surgery - came through it like a champ. If there are no complications, he should be home in a week. Thanks so much for all the prayers and good thoughts. We are certainly relieved to have this behind us.
Friday update: After surgery on Tuesday he ended up with a breathing tube Wednesday morning. They removed that yesterday afternoon. As of an hour ago he seems to be doing well. He's pretty much off pain meds and was able to have some of mommy's milk this afternoon. Erin is hopeful that they will remove the drainage tube tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too much longer until he is home. Thanks so much for the prayers and good thoughts.
