He is out of surgery!

A sound heart is the life of the flesh...Psalm 14:30a
Little mr Gerad is out of surgery!! As far as the docters, they were able to do the work they needed to do and Gerad’s corrected heart is pumping blood!!!!!!!!

Marvin and Hannie should be able to see him in about an hour as he is recovering now. They are leaving his chest ‘open’ so that as the heart swells, it can do so with more room. This is normal for baby’s with heart surgery and they usually close it in 5 days. (Right now they have it sealed with bandages)
He is still in critical care, but we are very relieved and thankful he made it through safely! God is Good!


Wait on the LORD: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psa 27:14
