They're finally done!

We just spoke to the surgeon, he said they are done and that everything went fine, with no complications. The reason why it took so long is because he had a lot of calcification of his sternum from previous surgeries that they had to cut through. Right now we're waiting outside the ICU for him to be brought up from the OR and then it should be about 45 minutes while they get him transferred and then we can see him. The surgeon said that they will probably try to extubate him in a few hours, but who knows...as always, the 24-48 hours after surgery will be critical.

    So very happy for all of you- this is so good. When Magnus was tiny it seemed like such a huge and long way to go- and he has gone through it and you guys have been so amazing. My warmest congratulations. Carol's friend Lauri

    Whoops! Let's try this again.....Really good news! Will continue the positive thoughts overnight and into the recovery phase. Arlo wanted to put hugs in a package and send it to Magnus, so we're intent on figuring out how to do that! xo
