And we're BACK.....

Harper's big surgery day is tomorrow. It is a bitter sweet day. No one likes surgery but Harper needs it. He just works too hard to keep his little heart beating and lungs breathing. 

Today we went in for all his pre-operative work. Harper was such a big boy and did so well. They drew blood, took a urine sample, and did a chest x-ray. 

I think he knows something is about to happen because he is having such a lazy and relaxing day. Sleeping a lot. I couldn't be happier. He needs all the strength he can get for the big day tomorrow.

Yeah, all just taking it easy

The procedure they will be doing tomorrow is called the Glen. Basically, they will re-route the plumbing in his heart to help his breathing. They will switch things around so less blood will go to his lungs and more will go to the body.
