He's done!!

We just spoke with Dr. Kaza (his surgeon), he's finished. He said Alex looks great! Said everything went according to plan, and there were no surprises once he got in there. Said the scar tissue there was there, but not too bad to get through. Said his valves all look great with no leaking (which has never been a problem for him) and his ventricle strength is great. Said his O2 saturations are in the 90's which is about 10 points higher than he has been.

Anesthesiologist came in and told us that he was doing well enough to remove the breathing tube. That is a huge relief!

Dr. Puchalski came in and said that he looks great. His pressures look good and he is sleepilly coming out of it. We know that the storm is about to hit! Once he's awake and able to tell us how mad he is, he will!

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and love. We know that yours and our prayers have been answered. We should get to go and see him in about 15 mins. We will update later after we see him. Thank you again for your many prayers!!

WOOT, WOOT! SO happy that things are looking great and that his Sats are higher. . .that should also be a wonderful thing for him to wake up without the breathing tube too! Continued prayers.
