On Bypass

We just received an update from the Nurse Practitioner, that Alex has been on the heart-lung bypass machine for about 15 minutes now. He is doing well. They will update us again at 1130. The surgeons told us this morning that total surgery time should be about 4 hours. We are just planning on about 1-2:00 before he is done. He did really well this morning, just hungry, and I'm sure was worried about being starved again!
We feel very much at peace with all of this. Our Heavenly Father has blessed us so greatly. Please know that your prayers are much appreciated and we feel such strength from them. Thank you for your love and many prayers. We will continue to update as we hear and are able to.
