The Surgeon

Dr. Backer just updated us. Bobby is off of the heart-lung machine and is all sewn up. The surgery went well.

He will be on a breathing tube for awhile - either getting off of it later today or tomorrow morning. They will keep him sleepy until that happens. Then, they'll slowly start taking him off of the pain medication, to his tolerance.

The scariest part is over. Now we wait to see what, if any, complications come up. We have been given a hospital stay estimate of 5 days to 2 weeks, which is indicative of how our Bubs likes to draw out these hospital stays.

We'll pass on an update later once we've seen him.
