We just got to see our boy, and he looks AMAZING!
For the first time in his life, he has a beautiful sinus rhythm and 98% 02 sats, all by himself!
We are overwhelmed with relief and awe, and so much gratitude to the donor who made this possible. I don't even think this has all even sunk in yet.
Bodie will still be sedated for the next few days as everything settles in. And, as with any open-heart surgery, the first 24-48 hours are a roller coaster, and this roller coaster will be compounded by the risk of rejection. Needless to say, he still needs prayers. Please continue to pray that his body recovers and the heart continues to be happy in its new environment. And please please continue to lift the donor family up in your prayers as well. As we have more hope than we've had in days, the donor family no longer has that beautiful gift of hope. They have given that to us instead. So please just pray for comfort for them.
We will update more as he progresses through recovery.
We’ve been praying and following through these updates and Sierra’s texts to Pearl. So thankful things are looking good, keeping you all in prayers and in our hearts.

ReplyDeleteDo you know human pacemakers can be donated to dogs? Now that you have a functioning heart of your own, maybe consider passing on the life and love.
