It is 3:47 p.m. and we just spoke with the surgeon. Oliver is all sewn up and in recovery. We have yet to see him, but Dr. Permut said he was a trooper. This was a challenging procedure, because Oliver had an abnormal valve. In addition, the lower hole was the largest Dr. Permut had ever repaired.
Eric and I had a scare about 2 hours ago when we were met in the ICU by the nurse and the socialworker. Apparently the surgeon wasn't satisfied with the repair, so he had to open him up AGAIN (& put him back on the heart-lung machine) to do some touch-up.
Everything looks good now. Dr. Permut is incredible and offered to foward us the video of Oliver's surgery. Perhaps we'll post it on YouTube!
We can't tell you how much it means to have your support. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I'm exhausted, but I haven't melted down yet! I'll post pictures when I get them.
