We came to see Brycen at 4 this morning and he was sound asleep as we had left him last night. He was doing so well, we decided to head back to the hotel and get some more sleep. When we came back at 11, we had just missed the on-call doctor but the nurse was able to fill us in on the agenda.
The CT scan will take place in the morning and then the computer model for his heart will be built from that. As soon as the model is complete he will go into surgery tomorrow afternoon. We will talk with all of the staff involved in the surgery in the morning right after the scan. They will inform us of the entire procedure and what all is involved.
Brycen remains as comfortable and stable as a kid can be. He even got to have one IV port removed from his hand so he's getting to suck on those fingers he's been looking for. He's doing awesome!! We're going to go back in and see him and see if we can get him to open those little eyes we like to see. I will only post today unless there is a major change because the "holding pattern" still continues and Christy and I want to spend all the time we can with him before the scan and surgery.
Obviously tomorrow is the BIG day, so keep those prayers going! We can't thank all of you enough for all you have done! We love you all!

We are praying for you and try to take some comfort in knowing that you are in excellent hands. I'll call some of my ex co-workers from there in the NICU and have them check on him.
