Going into this with our eyes open...



I had not planned to post again but we are too excited not to. There has been enough fluid removed from the little guy that his eyes are opening when Becky talks to him! (and here he obviously does not like the suction.)

Becky also wanted to make sure that I told everyone that we have changed our primary cardiothoracic surgeon to Dr. Jaggers.

  9. What a cutie pie! I fall in love with him all over again every time I see his picture. I believe it is a true miracle that God has brought Andrew this far. I can't wait to see what else He is going to do for our boy. We are praying and have faith that God will put him in good hands tomorrow, that the surgery will be a success, and that his recovery will go well. Give Andrew a hug and kiss from us! Lots of love!

  18. Praying that Andrew keeps doing so well and that his surgery goes smoothly! How wonderful that he's opening his eyes! And also that he's sharing his opinion of suctioning!

    We appreciate being able to follow your battle every step of the way and are SO impressed with how strong you 3 are...Andrew is lucky to have such great parents!!

  20. Praying hard and telling lots of my friends about Andrew, so they can send positive thoughts about his recovery!!! He is one tough little guy and I know he is so happy to have you by his side through all this...Opening his eyes is probably his way of telling you he wants to get this show on the road! :) Thinking of you every step of the way! I cannot wait to read your blog later today to hear how everything went. Love, L
