Surgery day 1:20pm

The repair is done, he is off the bypass machine but his chest is still open. The cardiologist said that everything looks great. There are two leaks on the AV valve but they are not very big. Both VSD patches are leaking but the leaks are minimal and will either close by themselves or not be much to worry about.

They did have to reconstruct the pulmonary artery but they she said it looks really good. She said she was happy with the repair.

He is still in the OR and his chest is still open however his heart is doing most of the work and his temperature is coming back up. They are having a little trouble getting his temperature back to normal but they said it is coming up slowly.

We are still waiting to talk to the surgeons. Will update when we talk to them.
