Elijah has been in surgery now for about 3 hours. We just got a call and up to this point they've just been taking pictures and figuring out everything that's going on in his little heart.
They found 2 areas that they will put coils in to close off the collaterals that aren't needed. There's also another artery that looks like it will need to be ballooned open.
We were told that the rest of the procedure could take awhile, please pray that everything goes smoothly and the Dr's are able to accomplish what needs to be done.
Since they are having to do so much we will be staying the night. The Dr wants to keep an eye on Elijah and make sure his body rebounds well from the surgery.
Thanks again for all your support and prayers.

We are praying for him. Hang in there. Sorry you have to stay the night...though, I find it more comforting after they have been knocked out for so long...just extra eyes and ears watching over our little champ.
Hugs,

Good to hear the update. It is an excellent idea to stay the night with all the stuff it sounds like they're working on. You guys will be able to breathe easier knowing the docs and nurses are watching over him closely tonight after all the invasive stuff they're doing. Give his body some time to adjust and recover. We'll be praying for you guys to have a good finish to the surgery procedure.
Love,
The RA
