The surgery went great, and Mitchell is in recovery. He won't be stable for the next 8-12 or so hours, so we are still praying for a healthy boy. He looks puffed up like he did at birth, and has some tubes coming out of his chest for drainage. When we saw him a little while ago, he was hooked up to an external pace maker to help regulate his heart rate. Otherwise, vitals looked good... and his oxygen is at 100%!!! This might be a long night, but we're so relieved to have the surgery behind us. Thank you so much for your prayers.

I heard about your sons surgery from a friend. I've kept you in my prayers and offerings.
My son, who is now 7, was born with a heart defect also(Tetraology of Fallot). Your son's post-surgery pictures look just like his!
I'd love to chat with you when things calm down. If your interested canby5@peoplepc.com. Otherwise, know your family is in our prayers.
We rejoice that the surgery went well! We'll continue to pray for little Mitchell in the next few hours, and for you both as you wait.

What a huge milestone for the Ehrlich family! We are praising God for all the good works he is, and will be doing in Mitchell.
