Third surgery in three weeks

Hi everyone. I'm updating Christopher's progress finally. I took the laptop to the OR waiting room to update but I got no signal, so that's why it's after noon and I'm just now updating. He ended up getting to the OR at about 9:30 this morning. His surgery went smoothe, and he was back up in ICU by 11. Dr. Iguidbashian said it was a "classic" thoracotamy, meaning he had no problems finding the duct and tying it off. So he will be on TPN for a day or two to let his lymphatic system heal. Hopefully all will go well with that and he should be on the nonfat formula or breast milk in a couple of days. He should be off the vent around 2 or 2:30. He was awake when I left to update you all, so that means he should be good to be extubated. Hopefully all goes well with that. He now has a 5 inch incision under his right armpit, to go along with his two incisions on his chest (open heart and pacemaker), along with six or seven small scars from various tubes, IV's and drains. All things considered, he looks really good, just kinda gangly from not eating fatty milk. Thank you all for prayers and thoughts, we really appreciate them.
