Jacers surgery

Jace was scheduled for surgery at 12:00 but we didn't get in until after 2. Again he waited patiently and didn't ask for anything to eat. He hadn't eaten since 10 the night before. Surgery lasted a little over 3 hours and everything went as planned. They went through the groin with a catheter and place a stint in the valve that was moved in his previous surgery. The valve was not opening so it was creating blockage which led to the veins in his neck bulging out. The stint is one that if his vein gets bigger as he grows they can go in with a catheter and expand the stint to fit properly. Another minor procedure but we will hope the Doctor is right when he says that probably won't need to happen. The only thing we need to watch is that it is a foreign object and his body could reject it. I feel good with the whole outcome and am pretty sure his body will accept the stint. Thanks to our wonderful home teachers Todd and Alex for coming to give Jace a blessing. I know the doctors were guided in making the right decision. Thanks to every one for your continued prayers and thoughts. He is doing amazing.

It's no wonder Jace likes going to the hospital. They have a Wii and we don't.

Just out of surgery

After surgery he had to lay flat on his back with his leg strapped down so he couldn't move it for 6 hours to control bleeding.

I had to take this picture, it was just so cute. It was his first time walking after surgery and his nurse Jody was giving him a sticker.
