Fontan finished

The nurse practitioner just came out and said that they have finished the Fontan part of the procedure. They are working now on warming his body back up. They hope to be warmed, and off the bypass machine within the next 1/2 hour. She will be back to update us within the next hour and can let us know what the plan will be as far seeing him. They typically need about an hour to get them settled in the CICU and then they let us in.

Thank you for your continued prayers and checking on us. We appreciate it so much. We know that prayers are answered and that is what will help him through this. It's going to be a rough 24 hours for him, but we know that prayers will strengthen him.

Update soon. :)
