Second Update

The nurse just gave us another update - 3 hours in. Blake is officially on the bypass machine and they have inserted a Gore-Tex shunt in his heart to supply blood flow to the lungs. It is a tiny 3mm tube. The surgeon is now inspecting the rest of the heart's anatomy to customize his surgery based on how the heart looks. We expect another update around 3pm.
