Seth is still out. Everything went well with the surgery, but afterward he has had alot of bleeding. They have gotten it slowed down but want him out until it has stopped completely. It's been a little rough because I want to talk to him really bad. But he has started to wake up several times and even 'signed' for me to kiss him on the forehead when he first came into I.C.U. I am trying to stay close, but not too close because he seems to stir more when I'm right by his side, and all of his stats go crazy. I expect things to go just fine, but for now we're just waiting.
The great thing about Mayo is that they keep you well informed throughout the whole surgery. We were informed when he entered the O.R., when he the incision was made, when he went on the heart/lung machine and when he came off, and an approximate time that he would be moved to I.C.U. It was absolutely wonderful to know exactly what was happening.... not ever had that sort of experience at a hospital before! It was a great change of pace
He came straight from O.R. to icu, so I was able to see him very shortly after the surgery.
I will be here through the night, so if there are any changes I will post again when I get a chance. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and encouragement.
