Hi everyone,
Will's surgery went very well! According to the surgeon, Dr. Huddleston, there were no surprises with the operation, so that's great news! Chris and I got back to Will's room to see him around 9:30pm and he will remain paralyzed and sedated for the next few days because they actually leave the chest open (but covered with sterile material) to allow for the swelling of the heart to decrease. The next 48 to 72 hours will be critical, but so far so good. We are praying that there will be no complications with his recovery and that he will continue to improve every day. Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers! We know that they are making a huge impact on how well Will is doing in combination with the amazingly skilled and caring team at Children's.
Love,
Katie and Chris
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are thrilled that Will's first surgery went so well and hope that his recovery is uneventful. He is an adorable little guy!
