Reaf's open Heart Surgery


Reaf's Surgery went really well!! I sat with Ashley and Scott for a couple of hours to get there mind of things!
I sat with them until they got a update from the OR Team.. they said that they are closing up Reaf.. in that moment i just thought ok i am not even worried he will be out in a week... sure enough he was out 5 days later!! What a Fighter!!!



Isn't he a Cutie ???

I never mentioned in any of my Posts what happened and how it was sitting as a parent of a patient in that waiting room... waiting anxiously for a update!!
Have u ever been worked up over a test u are about to take????
Then you know how nauseated, lightheaded and anxious you can get.. how fast you Heart suddenly beats.. imagine feeling that way and then multiplied times 100.... yes that bad!!!
Well while i was feeling that way i remember the Update call when they had told us that everything is going well and that they should be done in a couple of hours.. i was preparing my self sitting in the waiting room for 6-8 hours because that is what they have told us... that it could take that long!
Hour and a half after that update Dr.Bichell came out and when i saw him coming to talk to us..i could swear that my Heart stopped beating for a good minute! All i thought was..WHY is he not in the OR Fixing my Baby's Heart.. he can not be done! No way!!
But he was... and when it only took Reaf 2 hours i knew he will do just as good!!
His Mommy told me yesterday that poor Reaf developed a Hernia and that they will be back in Nashville January to fix it! But Hey Reaf mastered Open Heart surgery..pretty sure this will be a breeze!!
Still every prayer is appreciated
