Update for the night...
Thank you everyone for the faithful prayers you have made for Noah. He is a strong fighter!
Today, Noah has had an echo done to measure the fluid around his heart that was discovered on the echo done last night. This one shows a slight increase. They still do not think it is heart failure, but from an infection in his lungs. Poor buddy has a lot of secretions so they keep having to bag and suction him. They will be leaving him on the breathing tube for a couple of days before they try weening him off again. He is on a few strong antibiotics for the infection. He has had a temperature all day today so they are going to be giving him a stronger form of tylenol to help lower it. He is still aggitated at times and very uncomfortable, so keeping him sedated and happy is a difficult. But, overall today, he has done better. He is awake more and we can even manage a smile or two out of him! :)
BTW... if anyone has visited the "Pray for Noah" shirts page and has purchased a shirt... Thank you so much!! I would LOVE to see pictures of you all sporting the latest fashion!!! :)

He has been in and out of the hospital since day one and has had a total of 4 major surgeries to date, with his latest one being the most extreme and difficult - his first open heart surgery on November 4 and December 17th, 2010.
