Dr. Bichell just told us that everything went routinely. There was some muscle that needed to be cut away before they could see the shape of the valve that needed work. Until that was done and they could see the valve better they weren't sure of the outcome. He said the valve looked good, they were able to use it, and he shouldn't need further surgery. Hooray!!
He did say that there are still several things that could happen - bleeding, rhythm problems, etc. But Will's heart is strong and he couldn't have a better start for the recovery process. It's nice to know that several things are behind us - he doesn't need a pacemaker and will probably never have another open heart surgery. The doctor talked to us at 2pm and said we may be able to see Will in an hour and a half. In the meantime we're trying to update people by phone and email.
Thanks so much to my parents and friend Melody that came to wait with us, as well as all the support we got electronically! We're grateful for the science that enabled Will to get fixed as well as the technology that connects us with all of you!
