Happy Turkey Day to Everyone!!
Will did great on his transfer to Vandy... he didn't even require any sedation. He pretty much slept the whole trip.
We got some good news from Will's cardiologist, Dr. Parra. He talked to Dr. Bove (heart surgeon), and he is still thinking that Will may be able to use both ventricles, which would be great for him long term!! We will have to "wait & see" how things progress.
I also talked to one of Vandy's neurosurgeons, and it looks like they want to put in a shunt next week, probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. We knew that he would probably be getting a shunt, but we didn't expect it to be so soon.
Vandy docs are also more optimistic about NOT needing a tracheotomy. They said they will give him a few tries to get off the ventilator before considering it.
We are so thankful that we get to be at home for Thanksgiving. I got to sleep in my own bed last night for the first time in 6 weeks! It was so great... I had a hard time getting out of bed.
