Just got an update from Dr. Patel. The left pump has been removed and he said the ventricle is "thumping". He's 100% sure that the left side of the heart is fine. They have increased some meds now to challenge the right side and, even though it is very weak, they are going to remove the right pump and close his chest. If the RVAD has to be done, it will be done in a few days.

He's doing fine with no problems so far. The plan is to keep him sedated at least through tomorrow and then let him wake up on his own when the sedaton is removed. After a couple of days, if he still hasn't woken up, they will take him to the CT lab and see what the brain looks like.

So, prayers at work again! Will update when we get the next update.
