The Latest: Henry was scheduled to indeed have the band surgery around his pulmonary artery for tomorrow, Monday. He is just not naturally limiting the amount of blood to his lungs as they were hoping, so he'll need a little 'help.' Thing is, last night at midnight, i received a call saying that his heartrate was dropping very low, and as a result they ordered several tests. They are suspecting a bacterial infection. And while not severe, even a minor infection will impede the plans for an operation; they do not want to subject him to that if there is suspect infection. So the operation has been postponed until they can monitor him further. They'll know better by midnight tomorrow...
Many of you have been asking "How is Henry?" I guess the 'baseline' answer, at this stage, is "Henry's the same ol." Not a whole lot changes on him from hour to hour, but enough small variables from day to day to keep him monitored, to delay surgeries and that sort of thing. "Day to Day" is the answer, albeit a vague-sounding one.
Our family SO appreciates all your thoughts and inquiries. I wish i can soon post a gigantic HENRY IS COMING HOME! - so please tune in for that great news, which i hope is coming sooner than later. Not only Henry coming home, but Mommy, to her two boys and loving husband. I miss them terribly. More than i figured i would. Sucker me.
