Little Maverick was born yesterday evening at about 6:55pm. He was 7lb 8oz and 20 inches long. He looks quite a bit like his big brother, Carter. He ended up not needing the balloon septostomy and is on minimal prostins and room air. He has a UAC and UVC in place for the meds and is basically just hanging out. His oxygen saturations have been 80's to about 91%. He had a heart echo last night which showed he has a single coronary artery instead of two, but it branches off to supply all the heart. This means the surgeon only has one coronary to reattach, but it's a little trickier to reattach. We spoke to him today and he still seems pretty confident about everything and has said his single coronary won't change the mortality rate. The surgery is set for Monday at 0715. He says everything start to finish should take about 6 hours. The kids have seen him - he was able to stay in the delivery room for about 15 minutes after delivery, and they got to go into the NICU today. I'm going to attach some pictures so everyone can see. I'm pretty tired now, so maybe I'll type more later today or tomorrow.
