the surgery went very well and the doctor was pleased with how it went. the hospital let murvin come in finally. we thought it would take all day long like his last one, so when the nurse called us a few hours into it and said the doctor needed to talk to us- we panicked and thought something was wrong! he walked into the room and i'm like 'you never leave the OR until you're done- what's wrong' and the doc goes 'but i AM done and he's fine'. I broke into tears I was sooooo happy! Now they just have to see how his heart eases into its new functions. the main reason for this surgery is to help the heart work less by circulating more to the lungs and will bring more circulation to the head (which can make them have headaches we're told). the doc also repaired his pulmonary artery while he was in there. it was easier seeing him this time than the last- much less wires but they were having a hard time balancing his blood pressures and oxygen saturations. he is on about 3 pain meds and a few other antibiotics and a blood pressure med at this point. they think they may be able to extibate tomorrow. he is on a ventillator this first day after surgery.
