After six hours in the OR, Andrew is tucked in and stable in the PICU. By all accounts, surgery was a success. There were smiles on the faces of the whole surgical team. He is still on medication to support his heart and is being paced, but neither of those things were completely unexpected. Despite the wires and tubes he is still adorable, but we'll spare the pictures for now.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, messages and gestures of support. It would have been so much harder without you there with us.
The road ahead will undoubtedly be long and bumpy, but we are so pleased with how everything has gone up to this point. We will keep you up to date with his progress...
I'm so glad it went well!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Now we get to celebrate each and every one of those tubes and wires coming home, bringing him closer to home. I pray for an uneventful evening. Tell Andrew that he better behave. Hugs to all!
