Surgery is over...Dr. Agnew said both pumps were out and the right side was a little stronger than it had been yesterday. They have loaded him up with support meds and they are going to close the chest. Hopefully we will be able to see him in a couple of hours and then I think we are taking a break from the hospital. He's going to stay sedated throughout the day so we're going to get some much needed rest, at least in shifts if not altogether.

It looks like the initial part of this journey is now over and a new one is beginning!
