Andrew's Heart - Urgent Prayer

We just left the NICU and met with the director for all the NICUs in the local Baylor system. He was covering for the doctor over Baylor Grapevine, who is on vacation. We learned that after two rounds of medications to close Andrew's PDA valve in his heart, the echo showed that he still has a moderate opening. They are going to consult with the head baby heart doctor. He's got a title that we can't remember. They are going to give Andrew 24 - 48 hours for his valve to close, and then they will make the decision on whether to do a surgery and install a titanium clip to close the valve. The doctor told us they are going to tweak his ventilator and give him a diuretic that might help to close the valve and clear up his lungs. The nurse practitioner told us that the valve would only close miraculously without the help of surgery at this point. Well, we believe in miracles. So, please pray that over the next 24 - 48 hours the extra treatments Andrew receives will close the valve for good and that he would not require heart surgery.
