I just want to say another quick thank you to all of you have been standing beside our family on this journey.
Zak got his new heart and is doing well. The surgery was over around 11PM tonight. Zak is now settled back in his room in the PICU.
Everything that we have been praying for is going great. Their was concern before his surgery that his new heart may need some assistance pumping against his high pulmonary pressures but his new heart is doing great all on its own. We also were told going into surgery to expect him to be out at 2AM. He is doing well in his room and it isn't even 2AM yet.
The prayers that we have for the next few days:
1. That his body doesn't reject the new heart.
2. The first 24 hours he will be at a high risk of having a stroke. So we need to pray that he doesn't.
3. That he doesn't have any extra bleeding.
And I sure their are a lot more things that I am not thinking of because of the hour of the day and all of the different events of the day. Please just pray for full recovery and that our little boy will be able to go home healthy and strong.
We so appreciate all of you and look forward to talking to you in the days and weeks to come. We have come along way on this journey and have a long way to go. Thank you in advance for your continual prayers.
Sweet Dreams!!:)
Blessings,
Kat
