Dr. Christian came out and talked to us about 15 minutes ago. The surgery is over, and she said that Colby did great! They did not even have to give him any blood yet. He is a little anemic, so they may have to eventually give him a little blood later...we will see.
They are bringing him back up to the PCICU (Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit) now. It will take them about another hour to get him settled into his new room. Then, we will get to see him...finally! We are so eager to see him, but at the same time, we are extremely nervous. He will still have his chest tube, breathing tube, etc. No one ever wants to see their baby hooked up to numerous tubes and machines.
Dr. Christian said that he may be able to get his breathing tube out today or tomorrow and the chest tube should come out Wednesday or Thursday...if all goes well.
Thank you for your prayers, comments, emails, etc. We are so thankful to all of you for your support!! You have definitely helped us make it through this tough day!
We will post again later after we see our baby boy.
