Whew-well kind of

Severin is out of surgery. It was about a 5 hour surgery with a total time away from us being 8 1/2 hours. A long day for all of us. We had an awesome Surgeon. Dr. Kaza seemed positive of the surgical outcome. Severin is still very critical, be stable for now. Kids in the CICU like to change moment to moment. I won't take you on that ride with us. He is not breathing on his own, but thats ok, he can take a break. All vitals seem stable. We will stay here tonight to be close to Severin and take turns sitting with him-well we will see who wants to leave him. Thank -you everyone YOU are what is sustaining us at this time.

    Thanks for the update! Even though you might want to be so close to him, remember that he has the absolute BEST care in the ICU. It has been a long stressful day. If you can, try to both get some sleep so that you can be at the top of your game for him tomorrow. It might be easier for you as well since he will probably be pretty groggy all night and the effort to keep him comfortable but awake is a tough process for the doctors to figure out. From one heart mommy to another...go get some rest so your own body can recover too!!! (and I know that it is easier said than done!). Keep the updates coming!
