Done at Last.....
We just talked to the surgeon about how the surgery went. Dr. Bacha told us that the surgery results (short-term) are better than expected and that it was more tedious than he expected. Colin's chest is still open and will probably be closed either Sunday or Monday. He was able to fully hook up the left lung without a shunt and change the conduit. Pressures have already dropped in the right ventricle. Now hopefully his body will accept the changes. He did mention that Colin will probably undergo another catheterization to open the narrowed lower left lung arteries that he could not get to. Stay tuned for some photos post surgery.......Thanks for all your prayers.....

Just weird.

Hi Tim and Melanie:
Wow, I just linked to your blog and I think you two have the strength of 100s. I almost fainted when John got 9 stitches on his forehead...
We're really glad to know Colin's surgery went well today and we'll definitely being praying for all three of you. Good luck with the rest of this ordeal in Boston.

Thinking of you and keeping the prayers going. Colin definitely has good genes...he's a strong little boy just like his parents. Lots of love to both of you. And as always, please give Colin big kisses from his aunt and uncle.
