Not much new information to report. We're still waiting to be moved to a room upstairs, but we haven't been given a time table on when that might happen. Alisha and Everett are asleep in the chair next to me. I would post a picture, but we have the lights out in here and I don't want to bother them.
Everett normally is really good about taking his medicine, but I think he's had enough. He fights us when we try to give it him and he swats at anyone wearing scrubs. His patience for this place is wearing thin. I know how he feels.

James Everett was born September 13, 2007 with several heart defects that were not detected prenatally: Pulmonary Atresia (PA), Double-Inlet Left Ventricle (DILV), and Levo-Transposition of the Great Arteries (L-TGA).
For more information on these defects you can visit these links: https://health.google.com/health/ref/Pulmonary+atresia

He had his first open heart surgery, the Blalock-Taussig shunt, on September 25th when he was 12 days old. Just 10 days later on October 5, Everett had to be taken back into the OR to drain off the fluid that had accumulated around his heart that could not be diuresed with medication. In January '08 he had his Glenn procedure, and in March '09 he had his Fontan procedure. After these four open heart surgeries he is doing wonderfully!
