November 19, 2019 (2)

The surgery inserting the impella went well and he has much better blood flow through his heart.  They have lowered the sedation levels and plan for him to wake up early tomorrow morning and have the breathing tube removed.  We can't wait!

The docs want Levi to be able to get up and walk and gain some strength before having the transplant. 

He is still on the ecmo for now but they hope to wean him from it quickly.  While on the ecmo he is a status 1 for a heart and when it is removed he will move down to a status 2. 

Thank you for your prayers!
