Surgery

He went in at 8:38 for surgery. All the staff was calling him a rock star! He went back with the sleep Drs. gave people high fives and pounds when asked and got on the table put the mask on and fell asleep. The surgery itself was a huge success! Dr. Jones said his heart looks excellent! And the ASD closure should work great! For the first time since his open heart surgery is SATS have been in the upper 90's, even 100! Dr. Jones is thinking that Trevor can wait at least 5 years for his pulmonary valve replacement. What wonderful news! He should no longer look blueish/purple when he exercises, or when it is cold outside. That is a look I think I can get use to :) At 10:21 we were paged that he was done and it was a success! The device they put in is called an amplatzer septal occluder. It is 13mm. They also put a tiny camera through his other leg. It is amazing the technology they have nowadays!
