Pictures

I am finally getting a chance to put some pictures up. They are of him in the icelet getting ready to be life-flighted from Montpelier. The helicopter taking off and then two of him here at Primary Childrens.

Surgery

Griffin had his surgery yesterday afternoon and it went very well. The hole was relativley small and the surgeon was able to close it using muscle from his diaphram and he didn't have to patch it. A chest x-ray done shortly after surgery showed that his left lung was almost completely reinflated. They didn't have to go up on his oxygen during the surgery and will start weining him from that as long as his oxygen sats stay up. Last night they started to wein him from some of his blood pressure medication. Everything is looking very good and we are going to spend the day with the rest of the kids at the aquarium. Thanks for all your prayers.

Griffin Update

Griffin was scheduled to go in for surgery this morning but they decided to delay the surgery until tomorrow. Yesterday he started having some blood pressure problems and they would like to have him a little more stable before the surgery. He is still doing very well the Dr.'s just want him as healthy as possible before the surgery so that his recovery will go better. Most babies with diaphramatic hernia are not healthy enough to operate on until they are about a week old so he is still looking very good. He looks much more relaxed and comfortable today and doesn't seem to be fighting the ventilator as much. Thank you everyone for your notes and prayers we know it is helping. We will write more when we know more and hopefully I can get some pictures on here soon.

Thank You

Griffin Carling

Well Griffin was born yesterday (11-10-09) at 1:57 pm. He weighed 4 lbs 15 ozs and is 18 inches long. He had a diaphramatic hernia and was lifeflighted to Primary Children Medical Hospital in SLC. He is doing very well considering the hernia. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 10:45. We are hearing good things from the medical team but his stay here will be at least 2 weeks. He looks just like the rest of the Moss clan and even has Alex's cleft chin. We will try to update the blog every day so be sure to check back for updates. Thank you to everyone for your help and prayers.

Crazy Hair Day

Tomorrow is crazy hair day at school so Alex did the boys hair for them. I was just going to put some red bows in their hair (red ribbon week).

Dalton Singing

Dalton's class went to the Bear Lake Manor (the old folks home) and sang some songs last Thursday. All of their songs were about being accountable for their actions since their teacher had had some problems with bullying last year. It was fun to watch them and all their fun little actions.
