OUT OF SURGERY!!!

Well, he is finally out after about 7 hours! HALLELUJAH!!!!

Ok, so we talked with Dr. Fitch. He said that it was as difficult as he expected, but nothing occur ed that he didn't expect.

I saw the anesthesiologist in the hallway and he was looking for me to talk to me about the case. He said that it was a LONG case and David lost A LOT of blood. But a lot of his own was given back to him(which is good) BUT he also required a lot of blood as well from the hospital blood bank. He said that his breathing/lungs and heart did great and that his vital signs did great all throughout the surgery.

He said that at the end of the surgery, he looked down and saw that his urine had become very dark/brown. His vital signs were stable and good, but they weren't sure why his urine became dark. He mentioned that the urine changing color could be from a blood transfusion reaction--so PLEASE keep that in your prayers

He still has the breathing tube in and is asleep from all the medications. They are getting him settled in the pediatric ICU--so we have to wait for that. We hope to be able to get to see him around 5:30/6.

I will update again after I see him....This is from the passage that I was reading this morning and meditating on all day.....

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
ROm 8:26, 32
