Finlay's progress

We are excited to report that Finlay is continuing to improve. Of course, recovery from heart surgery was never going to be a walk in the park, especially when you are just a baby. But the little guy is up for the challenge, and his ayi is right there supporting him through everything.

He is out of intensive care now, so we celebrating that step with thankful hearts. Unfortunately he is still having some trouble with pain and it's making him a little fretful. His ayi is finding that he is most comfortable in her arms. Lots of gentle touch seems to help to soothe him. I guess just like all of us, he needs to know that he is not alone.
At this stage, he is still on schedule for his second surgery next week. What a miracle for an inoperable child!  Please join us in thankfulness for the great progress so far, and hope that his pain will be managed well. We will let you all know when his next surgery is scheduled.
