Big changes

Well Bridger was having a rough day today that turned into an even rougher evening. He ended up crashing during the evening shift change and they had to put the breathing tube back in and paralyze and sedate him again. Earlier today the cardiologist spoke with me about the echo they performed yesterday and said that Bridger would in fact need more surgery to repair or replace the valve and right now the goal would be to get him strong enough to go home until the next surgery. We knew that this was very likely, but its hard to digest when its an absolute reality and even harder now that it looks as though the mitral valve is failing even more quickly. The medical team is going to try and keep him stable tonight and present him at the cardiac meeting in the morning. If I may make one request right now it is for no suprise visits, if you want to come by please leave Danny or myself a voicemail and we will let you know when might be a good time. The next few days will be critical again and we don't want to add any extra stress to ourselves or Bridger. Thank you again for all your prayers, thoughts and love. Leisa will continue to keep you updated for us.
Love Staci
