Before Surgery- no chest scars

Before Surgery- no chest scars

They are done!

Dr. Burch just came and talked to us. He said Luke is done with surgery and in recovery. We will get to see him in about half an hour. He said there was a little occlusion of the left pulmonary artery but he fixed that. The surgery went without any major hiccups. He left the head of the Sano shunt on the right ventricle and pulmonary artery and sutured those closed rather than removing them and suturing the actual heart.

Luke is still intebated and will probably be so for 24 hours. He is on 50 percent oxygen. His sats are high 70s and low 80s. Luke's blood pressures are good. I don't know much more now. After we see him I'll write one more update for the day.
