Austin made the trip today, from CICU back to the NICU at UAB. He's officially on the road to recovery. We're so proud of him! He looks great! He is only hooked up to one IV, a heart monitor, and some oxygen. This is a big difference from a few days ago when he was hooked up to many IVs, several monitors, and a ventilator. He looks GREAT! We walked into NICU this afternoon to see him and he had his hair in a mohawk, and was propped up listening to his CD player through headphones. He was SO cute! The doctors suggest that heart babies listen to music via headphones, it helps them relax and keep a stable heart rate. Austin loves it, and looks cute doing it.
We also got some good news today about some tests Austin had done right before surgery. All heart babies are tested for a syndrome called "DiGeorges Syndrome." This syndrome is related to their immune system and their bodies not being able to fight against common colds, etc... many heart babies have this syndrome. We got the results today, and Austin is negative for DiGeorges Syndrome!!! PTL! This was a huge relief for Andy & Heather!
Keep praying! We all see evidence of your continued prayers. Thank you!
