Surgery didn't go quite as planned. He had more blockage than they originally thought. The surgeon did clear all of the blockage, but when they took him off bypass his left ventricle wasn't functioning. He opened him back up and tweaked a few things and was able to get some function back. Because of this, he thought it was worth it to put him on ECMO (life support for heart and lungs). They are hoping this rests his heart enough for him to regain full function. We have a 3-5 day window and then there is nothing more they can do. We didn't get to see him until almost midnight yesterday so it was a long, long day for everyone involved. This morning they put him on dialysis to help rest his kidneys. They would not be taking these steps if they thought he couldn't recover. The doctor said it's 50/50.
Our God is bigger than this. William is His sweet little boy. We've just been blessed to call him ours on earth. Please continue praying for our family. We need strength to help him be strong on his journey.
