Landon is going to have his catheterization (basically an internal x-ray) on January 16th (an unpleasant procedure I am told) and his pre-op will be February 8th and surgery on February 9th. It is nice knowing this, but scary to think how soon we will be sweating bullets all over again.
We are hopeful there will be less complications after the surgery this time and that he will recover faster. We take nothing for granted though. There is a chance he could be on oxygen following this procedure or he could be doing better than he is now. The human body is very unpredictable. These surgeries are an inexact science at best . Not to fault the process or doctors, but the heart at this age is very small.
Pray that we can have peace in the lead time and through the whole process again. It will be harder this time even if it is easier for Landon. We have grown quite fond of the little guy to say the least! More to come in a post detailing the procedure and what it will mean for Landon's anticipated progress following it.
