Day 17, Posted on Day 18

Quick. Post. Came home at 3:30 and slept til 6:30, paid bills, did laundry, headed back down.
Yesterday was a very difficut day. Hayden's surgeons decided that the fluid arounds his heart was a major concern and they needed to go back in and drain it. At 2:30, yesterday, Hayden had open heart surgery, again. They got the fluid and thinks look better. Still rocky. He was extubated fairly easily. Got some blood over night, spiked a fever and is in pain. He is in the most pain he has been in because he is so alert. He was a fresh incision and 4 chest tubes. Still many issues.
We are praying for improvement...

Thank you all so much for you kind words, thughts ands prayers. You ae all amazing.

Thanks for posting. We have been thinking of you all constantly (just ask Robyn - she is probably sick of my emails). I am glad the surgery went good and hopefully recovery will go more smoothly from here on out. You all are so strong and amazing, Hayden is so lucky. Constantly thinking of you all and sending much love to that adorable little boy!

Take care,
Anne, Brad and Kyle

Thank you so much for posting this morning. I looked anxiously several times yesterday to see if there had been improvement on Hayden's part. Hopefully now, he will be on the road to a full recovery. He is a strong little boy and he will amaze you with what he will accomplish when he conquers this obstacle. G-d willing this will all be a distant memory, but one from which you all will draw strength, having made it through it. Naomi Lazerow

Our family and friends have been constantly reading the blog and calling, praying and wishing for Hayden, Mom and Dad. Sending some much love and concern that they can get a break and Hayden can get his strength back and be our funny little guy again. We miss his comments and running around. He is a great kid. love grandma and pop pop
