It’s Apr 22/10 2pm MDT and Dr Ross came down the corridor towards us and he looked relaxed. He came up to us and said everything went well and he’s happy with the surgery. We have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Ross and you can us to that list. He is very nice and down to earth and humble and we are happy that he was the one performing the operation today.
We thank the good Lord for watching over Hudson today!
Hudson rolled by us in a large bed where he must of took up about 1% of the bed he was so small! I almost missed him on video as they wheeled him by at 2:30pm!
Doctors/surgeons certainly have a great gift from God to be able to perform operations like this to give little ones like our Hudson a fighting chance. Dr Ross had even mentioned to us that 10 years ago they were losing half the babies.. and a cardiac doctor in PICU mentioned they lost close to 100% 20 years ago…… Today, they’re success rate is over 90% thanks to them being able to perform these operations. We’re so thankful for the doctors and surgeons that have this skill/expertise.
As I type, I can’t believe that my Hudson’s little heart has a heart that has been changed……. It’s surreal to even try and capture my thoughts and emotions onto this blog. Gabby certainly has a better way of expressing feelings here. All I know is that I feel …. thankful…. and whatever emotion you can imagine I am probably feeling it right now…
Hudson will be in Pediatric ICU (PICU) for the next 2-4 days recovering… He probably won’t be able to hear/see us for at least 2 because he is quite sedated/on a paralyzing medication.
Thank you Lord for watching over Hudson and thank you for the surgeons and doctors and nurses and others involved in Hudson’s surgery today…
Hoping I can rest tonight… Hudson, i love you my boy… remain strong… STRONG!
Praise the Lord for his great love, Thank you so much Chris and Gabby for your faithfulness in keeping us all updated. I really appreciate it. Thank you Jesus for watching over this family. You have great things in store for the Torrens Family. Lots and love and prays are sent to you.
Chris and Gabby,
Awesome, knew he was a little fighter!
Came across a quote I journaled from a book called “Parting Visions” read when I was in Nepal. It says “most doctors get through medical school and think they are God because they know a little about the human body. The really good ones are humbled by how much they don’t know”
Fantastic! Hudson is a very strong little man. We are so happy to hear the great news. All the best for the next few days of recovery 🙂
