The staff physician and surgeon just spoke with us. Things have settled down a little (thank You Jesus!). He is still very fragile; his chest is open and he is on a lot of medication but the current trajectory is positive. The team has decided that surgery would not bring great benefit right now so they will manage this medically for the time being. They warned us that he may need to go on ECMO in the night if he destabilizes. They are watching how he responds to treatment over the next 24 hours and there will be an evolving discussion with the entire cardiac team as to next steps.
God is at work and we thank Him for His presence. We'll be able to see Josiah in about ten minutes. Hopefully this will be the last blog post for the night.
Thanks for your prayers!
Blessings,
Elizabeth and Graham
