The Surgery Was Successful

Psalms 69:30 I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

That verse well sums up my thoughts and emotions at this point. The surgery has just been completed and appears to have been perfect. The next 48 hours are still crucial as it is possible that an infection could create an issue, but the major concerns the doctors had about the placement of the coronary arteries was not an issue. He will be sedated for the next few days, and on a respirator, as they do not want any more strain on his heart than is absolutely necessary. However, God has blessed us with a successful surgery, and for that we are very grateful!

Please keep praying as there is still a small chance that a leak could form around the repair or that he could get an infection. Thank you all for your prayers for our baby, my wife and I. We have certainly felt your prayers and have been blessed by the support we received.
