We just met with Amy and Dr. Fraser. Blake is done and everything went smoothly and completely as planned. His chest is closed and they are slowly waking him up from anesthesia enough so he can try to breathe on his own and hopefully remove the ventilators (his breathing on his own as soon as possible helps reduce fluid in the lungs). We should be able to see him in ICU by 3.
They did an extra-cardiac conduit with no fenestration, and the leak in in his tricuspid valve was so negligible Dr. Fraser said it wasn't even worth mentioning.
Hallelujah! Thank you God and to all our friends for your prayers and positive thoughts. Now we need to pray for little pain and a speedy recovery.
