Newborn having heart surgery

Beautiful little one. Will keep Carter, family and the medical team in prayer. 🙏

He's adorable. I'll be praying for Cater, his family, and the doctors. I hope he continues to stay strong, the surgery goes well, and that little Cater has a smooth and speedy recovery. 🙏 💙

By the way, congratulations on becoming a Grandma!! How exciting!! 🤗🎉🎊

I’ll be thinking of him and his family all day!! 💕
He is beautiful! 🥰

Best wishes to you all! ❤ And congratulations!

He’s adorable! Congratulations on being a grandma! Will be keeping him in my prayers! ️

Aw, thanks everyone. I am so excited to be a grandma.

I’m going a little nuts trying to stay busy and rest at the same time (getting over a mild case of covid but am absolutely fine).

He went to surgery this morning and should be done in the late afternoon. I really appreciate the prayers and positive thoughts. This is a great community!

Adorable baby.
Prayers sent to Carter and family.

He looks so strong and healthy (as well as beautiful). That should work in his favor.
We nearly lost a granddaughter and her mom years ago. She is now entering high school.
Hoping all works out for your loved ones. Grandchildren are the greatest.

God, I ask that You protect this little life. Grow this baby into the person that reflects Your light and love in the world. I know this child is important, that this child is destined to do great things in Your name. I pray strong protection over this baby’s life. Amen

This is beautiful! @Tanya

Keeping him and your family in my thoughts. I'm sure he'll do great. He sure is beautiful!

🙏 Tanya that was indeed beautiful.

@luvmyherd I’m so glad mom and baby (well not a baby anymore) did so well. That’s great to hear. After 39 hours of labor, my daughter’s blood pressure plummeted and the baby coded right after they’d decided to do a c section. So it turned into an emergency for both mom and baby. But they were already setting up for the c section, so the doctors were able to act immediately and everyone bounced back quickly. So very grateful for that.

@Tanya, that was so beautiful. Thank you.

And thanks to everyone for prayers, love and support.

Carter is out of the actual heart surgery part and doing well. They still have to close him up (or they may leave him open, not sure yet) and then gradually rewarm him because they lowered his core temp for the open heart surgery.

Gosh, what a a lot for a tiny body to endure. Ours did not require surgery but the emergency that caused the Csection made the baby unable to breath. A full week in NICU and we brought her home to a driveway lined with cheering family. Needless to say, that week was spent praying.
May your outcome be as positive.

Carter is completely out of surgery and doing well. He’s been in NICU since he was born Sunday and will now be moved to PICU. There the parents will have a room with him, which will be wonderful as their time with him until now has been limited and they haven’t been able to hold him much. He’ll likely stay in the hospital for a month or so, then hopefully be on his way home. My daughter is anxious to see him again, and that should happen soon.

Prayers are the strongest medicine. Congratulations on the beautiful Grandbaby. May he fullfill all your dreams. Still sending prayers

Amen to that.
The power of prayers does wonders.
So happy the baby is doing ok.
