The surgery went very well!!!  Praise God!!!!!  We could not have gotten through today without him!   Thank you for all of your prayers!!  The surgery went as expected, the doctor is concerned that possibly when the PDA arteries close, that it may narrow the pulmonary valve.  What this would mean, is that he may just have to have his second surgery sooner rather than later.  We will know more in the days to come.

Ty and I spent the morning with him and were both able to hold him for quite a while. We both were glad that we were able to do that.  You would never think that you could be tired from sitting around, but we both are absolutely exhausted!  The nurses told us to go home and get some sleep that he was in very good hands!!!  We are so glad that we are in the best place that we can be!!! 

He has a lot more lines then he did in the NICU, but that is to be expected.  The nurse said that he looked good!  Very strong pulse.  They have him on meds to keep him quiet, and comfortable.  He will be on a ventilator for a few days, and they will slowly start taking him off of things.  I warned them that he tried pulling out the tube when he was down in the cath lab and that he really doesn't like it:)  He is going to be my little stinkpot:) 

We are so blessed with all of the love and support from our family, church and friends!  Please continue to pray for us as we still have a road ahead of us.
