The nurses took Caden to surgery at around 1PM. It was very difficult handing over Caden yesterday and then just as much so today. The bright side of today is that even though they re-open the chest it is not considered open heart surgery as they will not be disturbing any of the vessels of the heart. Dr. Tweddell will explore around but wont spend to much time and has no inclination of finding anything else. They plan to get him in and get him out as quickly as appropriate. Pray there are no complications please.
One bit of good news is that we received a call from Ronald McDonald house that a room has come available. God works in funny ways…. Melissa and I walked over for another orientation. We were very happy to see that Melissa and Caden's picture is still hanging on the wall there. When things settle down a bit I will share some of our thoughts around being in the CICU again and what it feels like to be at RMH again.
We will update you soon. Please keep the prayers coming.

Thanks so much for the updates. We have been checking continuously since yesterday, holding our angels and making "wishes". We visited Goddard today and Ms. Sarah summed it up like this, "We love him as if he was our own". So much love, hope you can feel it making its way to you.
