Chest closed

They closed his chest Monday from around 5:30-6:30. The surgery went well. Danny and I got to the hospital around 9 and he didn't look too good. He was very blue/grey and there was a lot going on to try to stabilize him. Everyone seemed very concerned, as were we, since his heart was having a hard time pumping to his body. His oxygen saturation was in the low 70s. We weren't sure if he was going to make it, but hopeful that he would fight through this. I saw him around 3 AM and he looked sooo much better. The nurse said that she felt he was on the fence earlier, but was much more stable now. It is a hard surgery to recover from and hard for his heart to get used to pumping against his chest instead of it being open. They said that the surgery begins the recuperation all over again. One step at a time. He is precious. Looks just like Scott through all the tubes when he was a newborn which is fun to see. Scott is doing well. We are SOOOO grateful for everyone that has helped and offered to help with Scott. We are especially thankful to grandma and grandpa Lietz, Robin, Jim, Luke and Max Bogner who have been taken such good care of Scott. We couldn't have gotten through the hardest days without your help and love. We are so blessed to have so many people praying for little Tyler and willing to do so much for us. We are so lucky to have you as friends.
