This is Kyson's room. Quite the set-up!!! I am just amazed at the technology that is involved in taking care of him. There have been so many doctors looking after our baby (cardiologists, respiratory therapists, anesthesiologists, nurse practitioners, heart surgeons.......) These are people we will never forget.
This morning a group of specialists were doing rounds and as they came to check on Kyson's progress I just sat here and listened as they debated between one another about the next steps that should be taken. They are such intelligent people and I am grateful for the knowledge they all possess. 
When we came back to see Kyson this morning I was so happy to see that his swelling had gone down quite significantly overnight. It makes me happy to see him looking more like himself. I hope this picture doesn't bother all of you too much, but this is reality for us! He still has an open sternum so they can go back in an tighten a band tomorrow. After that they will be able to wire his sternum shut and stitch him up. Overall things are progressing well and we are happy.

Wow...those are intense pictures!!! (That was a hard sight to see) I am so happy that he is doing well for what is expected. You are continually in my prayers. I'm sure you long to embrace him and comfort him. He is blessed with some of the most amazing parents he could possible have. I am so glad that you are able to feel peace during this time of pain. I sure love you and will be here to help anytime. When I am done with school always remember...I will have more time to take care of Caleb!
I love you!
Can you tell I check your blog about every 5 minutes? That picture of Kyson is so sad. But I am so glad you shared it with us so we can see what you are dealing with. I am so thankful he is doing better. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug. Who knows I might show up at the hospital soon. We love you and we are praying for you!!!!
I'm the same with April. Thank you for sharing. Those pics are intense and just break my heart but it really puts it into reality what you are dealing with. Andrea you have always been the most faithful person and greatest example and I know. I'm glad that you have found comfort and peace and know the Lord is watching over you and especially Kyson at this scary time. We love you guys and are praying for your family.

Wow I am so sorry you have to go through this! I just found out about it in church today!Please let me know if I can do anything to help!! I worked for Phoenix Childrens Hospital for 2 years and the people there are GREAT! They will take such great care of your sweet baby!
I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. We were out of town and out of e-mail this weekend so I have been calling Jen and Ashley all weekend long getting updates. What a good idea updating everyone through your bolg. Kyson looks like he is such a fighter. I am so glad that you have such a great family around you during this time. We talked to the YW today and they are all very concerned wondering how you are doing? They can't wait to see you again. Please please please let us know if their is anything that we can do to help you.

Those are amazing pictures. I don't think you need to worry about posting them, yes, they are intense, but like you said, that is what you are dealing with. And they are pictures of your sweet boy.
I'll talk to you in the mornign.
I am so sorry Andrea. Your Family is in our prays especially little Kyson. It is amazing what Dr.s can do. Those pictures explain it all. That is amazing.
I am thankful that Kyson has parents and family with such a strong faith in the Lord Jesus! Not all children are that blessed. I will keep you all and especially Kyson in my prayers.
Andrea, I am so sorry little Kyson is having to go through this. It just literally breaks my heart. I can't even believe it after reading your blog ten times straight. You are all in our prayers, and will continue to be. You both amaze me on your faith!! Kyson is so lucky and blessed to have you as parents. I can't even believe little Kyson. He is such a strong little man! I know the Lord is looking after him...that pediatrican is a direct blessing from heaven along with all of the doctors and nurses. We love you guys and will keep you in our hearts and prayers.
Your sweet little angel. My heart aches seeing those pictures. I can't imagine how difficult that must be watching your little baby go through all of that.
I'm in your ward, by the way. I don't know if you know me. I know you because your husband teaches Sunday School. An announcement was made on Sunday about Kyson, so I just checked your blog.
I can feel the strength of your amazing faith as I read your blog posts. Your family will definitely be included in our prayers.
Hey Jared and Andrea, our prayers are with you and your sweet family. My little niece was born with the same thing about 2 months ago ( 3 Ventricles instead of 4 ) and I know my Sister will be relieved to know that there are things the Doctors can to do keep her Daughter healthy and strong like Kyson.
Just wanted to say you have prayers coming from Virginia. You are a strong family. Hang in there. I admire your guys faith and positive attitudes. You are loved! I am so thankful you guys have such a great support system.
Oh, that picture breaks my heart!
I'm glad you get to hold him again soon! Wow...that's all I can think to say right now!
