The surgery is done, James is recovering in the PICU, and his vitals look good. He's stable but still unconscious until tomorrow. He needs to stay still as his stitches set and tubes monitor his first 24 hours of progress, so they've deliberately kept him knocked out and immobile (they've already noticed he loves to kick). He should wake up tomorrow (Friday) morning, and possibly even have his breathing tube removed by then.
We bundled him up on this cold icy morning, arrived shortly after 6 am to greet his waiting and eager team, and scrubbed up head to toe to escort him into the OR. Dr. Chen and team took fabulous care of the little guy. More updates over the next few days as he wakes up and adjusts to his brand new system... plus some description of what was done. Right now though, we're off to sleep!
the calm before the storm...
