We will be leaving for Atlanta early in the morning. Mitchell has a pre-op appointment at the hospital followed by a visit to the General Surgeon. His hernia surgery is scheduled for Thursday.
Things have been going well. We are happy to see Mitchell more comfortable and tolerating his feedings better.
As of Monday, he weighed 13 lbs. 7 oz. Despite his intolerance to "adequate" volume, he has gained weight. We anticipate that he will be able to tolerate an increased amount of formula after his hernia is repaired.
His appointment also included an echocardiogram- his heart function looks good, and his oxygen saturation was as high as 90. However, his cardiologist noted that the stent in his pulmonary artery may be too small. She will keep an eye on this, but he may require another visit to the cath lab to place a larger stent.
We appreciate your prayers for Mitchell as he has surgery Thursday; we will update once we have a scheduled time.
