The Fontan- update 2

We are with Santi and he looks great!

I'm hesitant to say surgery went well because we have not spoken directly to Dr. Starnes yet. But no news is good news. I'm looking at my sweet guy right now and despite the incision, IVs, drainage tubes and wires he looks fantastic.  

He arrived in CTICU around 1:15pm.  It took about an hour for them to get him settled. Abe and I were able to come in at 2:15pm. The morphine and Ativan are keeping him comfortable. I Reiki'd the room and did a session on Santi. And the nurses are just phenomenal. 

Santi's first words post fontan were "go go!" As in, get me outta here. I'm ready to go home! His second was "Nemo," referring to his Nemo water bottle. The poor guy is so thirsty. But he cannot have any liquids for a few more hours.  

I'll post again after the surgery team gives us the full run down.
