The latest update tells us that he MAY be done as early as 5:00. Of course that means he may not, but it sounds like things are going well.
By the way if you want to see some videos that explain the three surgeries that he has had, I found some very good ones. The main difference though is that Thaddeus's right side is under-formed. The videos show the more common hypo-plastic left heart.

The nurse JUST came in to update us. The repair is done. Now they will warm him up slowly and take him off of the heart lung machine. We have no way of knowing how the body is functioning with the surgery until after he is off of the heart and lung machine. They will assess him and they will also do another echo cardiogram to see how things are working. So as of now, things are progressing the way they expected them to.
