The Surgery was a little more complicated than the Dr. Expected but not too difficult that a little more time couldn't help. The Dr. said that the pulmonary and aorta valves are supposed to be mirror images of each but for some reason they are rotated from each other. So he had to do a little extra stuff to work on that. The Dr. said that many many (60s or 70s) years down the road he MIGHT have to have another procedure done for possible heart problems but it is nothing to worry about now. They said that the next 24 to 48 hours are very crucial and they will monitor him very closely. The are going to let everyone go back and see him in about 30 to 45 minutes. Very exciting!
Katie received her March of Dimes Necklace for AJ. These are really cool! His name is on it and each bead stands for something different that AJ has experienced. It is a very special thing they did for her!
I am so very glad that AJ came thru the surgery well. God has truly answered our prayers and is watching over this situation. Please give love to Katie and Buie for us. We won't be able to make it up there today as planned.
