"Everything Went Well"

No sooner did those words come out of Dr. Watts' mouth, did the burden of relief evacuate from Laura and I's shoulders.

Dr. Watts met with Laura and I at 1 pm today and said that Cole was fine and that the surgery went very well. No surprises, no reactions, no strokes, etc....

We are waiting to see Cole - he will be in the CVICU (cardiovascular intensive care unit) and will have LOTS of wires and tubes attached to him. We will take pictures as soon as we can see him.

There will be warnings about pictures that will be tough to look at. Not everyone wants to see the reality, but some do, and we want to document this event for us.

More updates later....

Angie - Yes indeed! I cannot tell you how nervous we were about this stage of the surgery. The first two, although they were just as serious, did not make us nearly as nervous.

Hey Cathie - Please do continue to pray because even though he made it through the surgery, it sounds as though his personal war is just beginning in the CVICU.

Judi-

We totally agree. Please do lift up the little man whenever you have a chance. He is fighting and I am so proud of him.
