Update - Chest tubes, pacer wires are gone!

This has been such a long day. I'm still amazed at how well things have gone and how fast we have moved through the process. Like I mentioned this morning they believe that Evan has a congenital narrowing issue with his uretha and that is what was inflamed from all the cath's and causing so much pain and his inability to pee. His surgeon this morning said things were going great with his heart but that his bladder was going to burst and that they were calling the urologist... We were given minutes for him to pee. Eric and I were in the bathroom begging Evan to push through the pain and pee... I felt horrible - here we were telling this baby that has 4 chest tubes hanging off his already sore chest to push through the pain. He did enough to avoid a cath. but they said it must continue. He has gone two other times today so we are riding a fine line. You can tell though that he is feeling much better. The last time he went to the bathroom his pain seemed much less. In the midst of all of this his heart is doing amazing. They pulled the pacer wires this afternoon and an hour later came in and pulled all 4 chest tubes. He has eaten a tiny tiny bit today and is drinking good. They asked him to walk and he walked all the way to the nurses station to show his nurse he could do it... Continue to pray - last night and this morning was scary - I'm expecting the heart stuff but a bladder problem is something I'm new at. We are going to try to sleep - something that hasn't been done by any of us since late yesterday afternoon. Thanks again for all the prayers, food and cards...
