Not much to report as we head into the evening which is a good thing! Blake has been resting comfortably under sedation all day and there have been no surprises. His chest is still open and they are waiting for some swelling to go down overnight so they can close him up tomorrow.
Each nurse and doctor that has come in contact with Blake has reported how well he is doing. Everyone is shocked with how long and involved the surgery was and then how little intervention he has needed following that. We have crossed the 24 hour mark and he has proven that he is a fighter!
Our goals for Blake remain to get his chest closed, get him off the respirator and off sedation and eventually understand his path for whether he will need a permanent pace maker or not.
Everyone here is still talking about the events that took place on Monday and there is a large police presence everywhere. Despite the continued threats/scares in the city we feel very safe in the hospital and the surrounding area. We are so thankful for all of the staff at Boston Children's Hospital and the amazing care that they have given Blake over the last two days.
