So we got the results of the echocardiogram. Dave was on his way to the hospital to visit our little man as well as find out the results of the morning's test. But he was stopping at a couple of stores first. I was pumping and the phone was sitting next to me. I've memorized the NICU number, so I went ahead and called. The echo showed that Lincoln's PDA had healed!!! NO SURGERY NEEDED!! I cannot even believe the wave of relief that washed over me. All the concern about where to stay while he was there so I could be by his side but still get a decent night sleep, about how I could get my Mom here in time to be with the girls so I know they'd have someone 24/7, about the closing on our house in two days, about missing Elliot's Back-to-School night, and mostly about my baby who was less than two weeks old and under a pound and a half and how we would do in surgery.
We were reminded that this does not mean we don't have to worry about the PDA anymore, it could still reopen. It doesn't mean we're free and clear and Link's just all better. The battle is still long and still uphill. But this is one MAJOR victory!
I bet I sleep better tonight!
