surgery update #2

Josh and I walked with Sawyer back to the OR room around 12 PM. We both gave him kisses and told him we loved him. Walking away was probably one of the hardest things we have ever done. No one can prepare you for how it feels to leave your two week old son for open heart surgery. 

After we left him, we headed to the family waiting room where they will call us with updates. The sedation process takes about an hour so we were prepared for a call around one. We both got lunch and settled in with our families to wait for the call. They did call at one and said he had gone to sleep fine and they had just made the incision. We were told the next call would come in an hour to an hour and a half. TWO HOURS LATER at 3 PM- they finally called! They have successfully gotten him on bypass and they are doing the repairs right now. The next call will hopefully come within an hour to an hour and a half. 

Thank you for continuing to pray for our family and sweet Sawyer!
