SURGERY UPDATES

348pm
Final update for this post.
We are in with Finley now and he is resting comfortably.  Ill share a pic later but i wont lie and say we werent shocked walking in and seeing our son.  Shock has worn off and we are just fine, the nurses are amazing and he is the absolute best possible hands now.   There is a ton of information they are going over with us but we will pour over it and be just fine.  Were headed in the right direction guys!!!!


1201pm
One of our surgeons just walked into our waiting room and supplied us with some very good news.  Finley is out of surgery headed up to CVICU for recovery.  The procedure of the complete repair went without any issues or complications and there were no unexpected events.  There was a tremendous amount of muscle tissue blocking the pulmonary valve that they removed and they patched up the hole with his own body tissue instead of a foreign material (like Kevlar).  Not sure what they used to increase the size of the pulmonary artery but will know once we get up there.  Our Dr said he is "rock steady" and did terrific.  Not outta the woods yet but another step in the right direction.

3rd check up call just told us he is off the pump meaning his fixed heart is working and they are going to start closing things up 😂😂😂😂

Just got another update right now saying they are still in there and all is going well.

824am:
Just received word that they have begun "the fix".

730am:
We got the green light and things are in process.  Finley is in preop and surgery should begin within the next 30 min.

will keep you all up to speed as it trickles our way.
