Just kidding… all done.
Dr. Hirsch stopped in already and said the surgery is complete. She said that he made it easy on her this time… he owed her one. Our room is not ready so he’s hanging out down in the recovery room. It will be an hour or more before we can see him. They will likely get him off of the vent before they bring him back up. She was able to get the GORTEX out without splitting his sternum so that’s really great. She did make the incision on his skin all the way up though. We talked with her a little about the plan going forward but we’ll just see how the next few days play out.
