All Patched Up

James is out of surgery and doing well! They gave him the good drugs, so he will sleep soundly tonight. There are a lot of wires and monitors, but they are planning to slowly remove them over the next 24-48 hours. Throughout the night, they are going to wean him off of his breathing machine and hopefully by tomorrow morning he will be able to breathe on his own. 

So how did the Surgery go? 

Really well. The surgeon said his VSD was very large but they were able to patch it without any issues AND  found nothing wrong with his valves. (YAY!) He will have an awesome battle scar down the length of his chest to show off to all of his friends someday!

And with that, Mom and Dad are signing off for the night after a VERY long day. 

And now we wait...

After a long morning with a hungry baby, he was taken back to the OR about 1:45. We just got our first update from the nurses. All of his lines are in place and they are beginning the procedure. 

Here are a few cute baby pics while we wait.
