To all -
Steve surgery is now finished and according to the surgeon it went really well. The surgery only took and hour and 20 minutes and they updated us the entire time. Mayo is fantastic and our surgeon Joseph (future name of our first born son!) is very talented. We are now waiting to see him once he has been transferred to the ICU. So: the take home message is that he survived the surgery and his heart is functioning well for probably the first time in his life. Thank the Lord. They did find more scar tissue in his heart than they were expecting so they are consulting with his awesome cardiologist to determine if he now needs to have a defibrilator implanted before we leave Mayo.
I'll keep you posted after I see him - but the hard part (at least for the family) is over. Thank you all so much for your love and prayers. We are the luckiest people in the world to have friends like you keeping us in your thoughts. All your praying power paid off. THANK YOU. love to all of you.
