Friday – Evening

Aaron Hill – 7:54 P.M.

Aaron came out of surgery about 6, but he remains on the ECMO machine. His heart was beating way too fast and misfiring and his blood pressure was too low. Drugs that had worked for his rhythm problems before were causing too much of a strain on his heart’s function. ECMO is a type of bypass machine that allows his heart to continue working, but it does the pumping of blood to his lungs and other organs. The doctors think that his heart will recover from the assault of the surgery and bypass machine during surgery and they will be able to wean him from the ECMO within a few days. However, it is very scary to see our son on this machine. Please pray for Aaron’s heart and the rest of his body. He has been so strong for us since his birth. It’s hard to believe he has come through two open heart surgeries and two heart caths and he’s not even seven weeks old. God is the only one who can heal his heart and make him well. Please pray for God’s healing power.
