He's out. The surgeon is very pleased with how the procedure went. We were allowed to come back to the ICU for a few minutes to see him, and he looked pretty sick - unconscious, with a respirator - but the nurse said his heart function looked just fine.

We're going to be allowed to see him once more this evening, and then we'll go home and try to get some sleep. I'm really exhausted, and Michael looks awfully tired too. I'll continue to post updates as long as we're hanging out here at the ICU.

you guys hang in there, okay?

the next good thing you want to look for is him waking up and getting cranky as all get out. cranky is a good sign.

*hugs*

*grin* It's funny you should say that. We went in this morning and he was complaining about the wires, and the position of his pillow, and his nurse's accent... so, good.

My thoughts are with you both. I'm glad to hear that things seem to be going okay.

Excellent. Get some rest, both of you. And don't feel guilty about taking some quiet time well waiting, you need to take care of yourself too.
