Joseph entered the surgical ward at 10 a.m. this morning. The surgery began at approximately 10:30 a.m. and lasted one hour and forty five minutes. Joseph returned to the NICU at approximately 1:45 p.m. and is resting comfortably. During surgery, it was discovered that both nasal passage ways were indeed closed. After the passage ways were opened, two tubes were inserted and they will remain in his nose for three months. His breathing tube will be removed either tonight or tomorrow morning. At that time, he should be able to nurse. It appears that he may need the holes in his heart repaired sooner than anticipated. We will know more as he progresses...but for now, we are happy to have the first stage of Joseph's recovery behind us!
With great appreciation and love,
Mary and Kenny
