Pray for Landon - UPDATE

UPDATE - They can't do the surgery with him on the JET ventilator so they need to switch him again (he moved to the JET at 7pm last night). He needs to be on a conventional ventilator like the one Brennan and Brooklyn are on, but he couldn't stabilize on it last time. They'll wean him onto the conventional ventilator this morning and hope he takes it well. This just creates one more hurdle for him, but they're hopeful he'll make a good transition and be ready for surgery this afternoon. He had a really good night last night - they best yet! Pray he's got the strength for the surgery after the ventilator switch!

We get updates EVERY hour it feels like! We just visited the babies for the evening and talked to the neonatologist. After reviewing Landon's echocardiogram, that blood vessel we mentioned yesterday is affecting his blood pressure quite a bit. Last night and today it has bounced from doing good, spiking high and dropping low. They're concerned and want to do the surgery clip the blood vessel or ductus arteriosus that we thought was doing ok. The doctors haven't given us a time yet, but we're expecting sometime early tomorrow morning. The surgery will take about 2 hours and since Landon isn't strong or stable enough to move to an OR they are turning our NICU room into the OR. They will shut it down for visitors and do the procedure right in his isolette. He has definitely been a fighter and been through so much. Please pray he stays strong and makes it through this surgery! It's a minor surgery, but major for such a little guy. The doc's are hopeful this will resolve some of his blood pressure, lung and hemorrhage issues. We will keep every updated as soon as we learn the results. God, our baby is in Your Hands!
