Thaddeus Update 56

Surgery is done. The echo looks great, function is good, and they took out the breathing tube already. They will watch for bleeding overnight and of course infection. The surgeon assured us that everything went according to plan. We just got to see him. He is pretty out of it, but he certainly reacted when he heard Dede's voice. He will be semi-sedated for the night and possibly tomorrow to help keep him calm and comfortable. We won't be allowed in the room for another hour or more, so we are going to get some dinner while we wait. God is good!
