David came into our lives on December 17, 2010. Soon afterwards we found out that David was born with a congenital heart defect known as Hypo-plastic Left Heart Syndrome. This is our place to vent, update, and share the love we have for our son.

Pics Galore--Day 3
So yeah I think the pics are always better than anything I could say. Today seemed to be a pretty good day for David. They had started him on Prostra which is the drug that keeps his valve open. Some of the side effects is he can run a fever, it can make him agitated, and it can lead to him having some shaking but this should happen over 24 hours. All of those things happened in an hour and half so last night was a little rough but by the time we left at 2:30 this morning his temp was down and he was calming down. We got back up early this morning and met with the cardiologists who said that David was doing good and that we were just going to keep an eye on him today and have another Ultrasound tomorrow (Monday). So on Monday we should have some more news of some kind. David has gained an ounce and is being super sweet, loving, and funny. For a two day old he keeps us smiling and laughing at how amazing he already is. He also got an IV out of his hand so we get to hold a hand with nothing on it but him which means more than I ever thought it would. Cole and I still have our moments of being really, really sad especially when we think that today would have been the day we brought him home from the hospital so we had some cries over that. We continue to be amazed and blessed by everyone's love that has been sent either through facebook, surprise visits, and gifts from a far. Thank you all for blessing us and continuing to pray for David and us. We love you all.
Grace and Peace
D
