Well we have had a very long couple of days but things are going good.
Yesterday we got here for his pre-op at 8:30 am get his blood work, chest x-ray done and then his echo. While they were doing his echo they found a spot right below his narrowed aorta. They didn't know what it was go they said that we will need to have a cat scan to see what it was. Trevor was going to have to be sedated for that. They THOUGHT is was an aneurysm. Well we waited and waited and then they finally came and told us that they were going to wait until in the morning so they only had to sedate once. So we went on to our motel and had come lunch at McDonald's at 3:30pm. So we went to bed not know what the plan was for the next day.
6:00am this morning we checked in to the hospital. They gave him his oral sleeping stuff and we carried him down to the cat scan room. Were they put him to sleep and were we gave him our hug and kisses. At about 7:30 the surgeon came out and said that they did see something below the narrowed aorta but not sure wait it was. So he said that they will still do the surgery at planned (under his armpit). At about 8 or 8:15 a nurse came out to say that they were starting the surgery and it should only take about an hour and a half. At about 9 she came out and showed us the aorta that they took out. It is about the size of a eraser on the end of a pencil but the end narrowed down to about the size of a head on a needle. SMALL. The surgeon never saw anything that looked like what he saw on the cat scan. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!! Trevor got out of surgery about 10 and we got to see him about 11. He is doing great. His breathing tube and stomach tube is out. Well he pulled the stomach tube out while we were at lunch. But he is doing great and is such a trooper. He is now just resting. He is not sure wait is going on but is doing good and is listening to the nurses. So i will try to update soon. Thank

I am crying as I read your update. Thank you Lord for bringing Trevor thru the surgery and helping the doctors find this narrowing and being able to fix it and for fixing what ever they saw on the scan. God you are so good.
How I wish I could have been there to place my arms around you Annie when you hugged and kissed your sweet little boy and turned him over to the doctors and nurses this morning. That is one of the hardest things you will ever do. I dont know do what people do that dont have the Lord during difficult times like that. Praying for yall. Love, Cheryl Yow
