A change of plans

We're beginning to expect that all plans change.  We found out around 5:30 that the doctors decided not to take the clip off of the central shunt.  They decided not to rock the boat and to try to keep him stable until the morning.  The plan is to go for surgery around 8:00 AM tomorrow morning.  The expectation is that the surgery will be very long.  The surgeon will need to reverse two of the previous surgeries and add a new shunt.  The surgeon will take down the two Bilateral Bidirectional Cavopulmonary shunts (the Glenn), take out the Central shunt and add a modified BT shunt. 

We thank God for the wisdom He gave to the team today and we're expecting the same tomorrow.  We'll arrive at the hospital tomorrow morning before 7:00.  We're currently having a nice visit with our pastor.

Thanks so much for all your prayers!

Blessings,

Elizabeth and Graham
