Lily's surgery is done. We met with Dr. Jonas a short while ago. As I have noted before, he is a very calm, direct man. He says what he needs to and that is it.
He walked in to the consultation room (where we had been sitting on pins and needles for 20 minutes) and said, "It went well and it went exactly as we talked about the other day. Do you have any questions?" We really didn't- I asked about being on the bypass machine for 70 minutes, he said that was much shorter than her first surgery.
We are in the CICU waiting room. Lily is being cleaned up and is in her old room from her previous surgeries. We get to see her in about 30 minutes.
To say that Bec and I are relieved is an understatement.
For all of you who were praying, thank you. The next 24 hours is critical to see how her body handles the new bloodflow pattern and how well it gets rid of the fluid caused by surgery, but Dr. Jonas noted as he left, "If she was going to have any major problems over the next 24 hours, we likely would have seen something during surgery."
