Our Lil Angel, Gabriel

Gabe's surgery went well.Dr M finished the op at about 1.30pm.He told us that the left shunt has good flow and Gabe's oxygen rate is at about 80+% which is a huge improvement.

However,there seems to be some bleeding from his airways and when we saw him at about 2pm Dr M said that e oxy level came down to 75% due to the bleeding. Yes we were very very worried as this meant the lung may have some problems. However at this point they cannot pin point the cause. So Gabe was given some med n we will need to wait for few hours to monitor. Poor Gabe,like as though he hasn't been through enough.

We decided to wait in the hospital till 5.30pm where they will let us see Gabe again. This evening the doc showed us his chest xrays n it seems that Gabe's lungs are clearing up. Very good sign. So relieved but still abit of bleeding. Oxy levels are at about 87-90% from what I saw while in the icu..good stats. Also face color seems better, pinky hues. Now we xan only wait and see when he will be taken off the ventilator. Praying his stats remain stable then

Feels like I've been through a very long rollercoaster ride.everything seemed to have happened so fast n sudden. Still kicking myself for not noticing his color change, when all the doctors seem to hv noticed it right away. I'm such a horrid mum, so sorry baby..

But Gabe..what can I say, he's such a strong and brave baby. I am so proud of u baby and I honestly couldn't ask for a sweeter baby. Love u so so much I can't imagine a life without u by my side.

Mummy can't wait to hold u...til then rest well n get well
