We got to see our little man in the CVICU. He looks amazing--a little pale and full of wires, but we think he looks absolutely beautiful! They are keeping him asleep until they take his chest tube out tomorrow, but I have a feeling that he can hear us talking to him. Joe and I are going to pull shift work while we're here-Joe drew the short straw, so he gets the night shift :) There is no way we're going to risk him waking up without one of us here.
The surgery seemed to be a huge success. The only complication was that his heart rate spiked in the OR and again when they brought him to the ICU. They have an EKG machine hooked up to try to catch the arrhythmia and diagnose the problem. He has a wonderful, attentive nurse at his side, and of course, two very protective and proud parents, so we know he'll be fine.
I'll post a picture later, but I'm going back to see him now. I miss him already :) Thanks for all the love and support for our Big E!

That is so great to hear!! I'm so glad everything went good. Love you all very much.
Good to hear he's out of surgery and that you've at least been able to see him. We'll look forward to pics and all the news from the ICU. Take care of yourselves, too!
Pam, Andy and Steph
