Henry's surgery

Dr. Ross, the cardiac surgeon, just came out of the OR to let us know Henry came through the surgery well.  - no surprises.  In this context, that is very good news.  Henry's oxygen saturations and blood pressure are good and his heart has good squeeze.  They had some issues with bleeding, but things seem to have stabilized with medications, so if that starts up again, Dr. Ross says the meds should work well again.  Henry should be coming past us in the waiting area in the next 30 minutes or so.

We are receiving all your messages of support and they all help.  This is the scariest thing either Hal or I have ever faced and it helps to know there is an army of support behind us.  For that, we thank you very much.

  1. Oh Thank god Jill. It has been a very long morning. I can not imagine what it was like for you. Lot's of kisses and hugs for all of you. It is hard to breathe just thinking of it. I have Henry and Owen's picture up so we can keep throwing good thoughts to the universe.
