Surgery Update

I can't upload pictures yet. Okay, surgery did not happen until 8 last night. The case before him ended up taking over 10 hours. Preop kept apologizing and we said we'd rather wait with a hungry 2 year old than to be the parents of the other case. After a long wait we finally met up with H in ICU. They replace his wire and repositioned his pacemaker. All and all it went well, even with a tired surgeon. Last night his xray came back and showed pneumotharax on the right lung. Extra air in the chest cavity. It is slowly decreasing so the plan is to take out the chest tube and hopefully move to the cardiac recovery floor. We will update more later. H looks great and has his frogs surrounding him in bed. And of course, Gordon the train. He has cracked a tiny smile while watching his Thomas the Train movies too.

What...surgery again?!?!? I'm glad they found this out before something bad happened but wish he didn't have to go through another surgery. Poor guy. Please let us know how he is doing.

Hugs,
