Mitchell is in the OR being prepped for surgery.

Anticipate hourly updates.  Thankful for sleepy meds before he had to go; and his iPod full of songs from Uncle Scott! #HeisAble ❤️

Surgery 7:30 a.m. Friday

Thank you for praying for Mitchell & his surgery! ❤️

1 Day Delay

Pre-op is now Thursday, 1/7 with surgery Friday, 1/8.

New Surgery Date for Mitchell

Mitchell's surgery is scheduled for January 7th with pre-op on January 6th.

Thankful for an excellent location for Mitchell's care.  They happen to be very busy right now.  Praying for the children in CICU at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. ❤️

Surgery Canceled

Thinking of the staff and children at CHOA.  Right now the CICU is full, & many children are awaiting transplant.

Mitchell's surgery has been tentatively re-scheduled for 12/11/15.  Will update once confirmed.

Appreciate your continued prayers.

Surgery Scheduled 12/8/15

We will be heading to Atlanta on December 6th.  Pre-op will be Monday morning at 8 a.m. with surgery on December 8th.  Will post time once we have it- likely not until 12/7.

We are thankful for his surgeon, Dr. Kirk Kanter at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  He is very experienced with HLHS.  This Open Heart Surgery will be his 3rd, the Fontan, to supply more passive blood flow to his lungs.

Thank you for your prayers & support.

Will update as we have more information.

Pensacola Cardiology Appointment

Mitchell's local cardiologist will see him September 17th to follow-up from his cath & discuss plan for surgery.  

Tentatively, she said "probably within 6 months" (by February), but plan to discuss benefit/risk as his sats were 87% post cath.  Dilating the stent in his pulmonary artery seems to have improved his saturation.  The benefit of waiting would be delaying potential post-Fontan complications, but he would require another heart cath.  We will do whatever she and his Atlanta team feel is best for him.

Thank you for your thoughts & prayers! ❤️
