Beating

We've received a few updates through the night, but just had confirmation that Eddie's new heart has been attached and is beating well. It started instantaneously which is a great sign.

The surgeons will watch for peripheral bleeding or other complications before they close his chest which should take another hour.

He's not out of the woods yet, but we are shedding tears of joy. Will share news as soon as we have it.

  6. We second the round of goosebumps and tears! First thing we are doing this morning is checking here to see how Eddie is, how the night is/was, and saying praryers! The kids broke out in spontaneous chants and songs and silly word play last night several times after school, with well wishes for Eddie - they came home SO excited after talking with Lucy! :) HUGS!
