I am sorry that I didn't update the post after surgery last night. Things got a little hectic and we thought we were going to see him sooner than we did. Translation......1 hour hospital time = 3 hours real time. Brian and I have found that everything times 3 is the best equation.
The surgery was successful, but long. They took him at 8:00 am and we didn't see him until 10:00 pm. It helped that we had a private waiting room. Brian stayed with him until about 4:00 am, while I came home and got some rest. We are going to be doing this more in shifts. The doctors say that everything is looking good today. There were some problems with a slightly elevated temperature and low blood pressure last night, but those seemed to have stabilized. He had Brian, two nurses, and a nurse practitioner all to himself last night.....how is that for service?!?. We also have a great corner (larger) room with a view. We couldn't be getting better care.
The doctors want to keep him paralyzed and heavily sedated until they extubate, which will likely be tomorrow. So we are enjoying the peace and quiet, because once the sedation wears off......this will be a different story. I will update again tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks for all the prayers.
