Mom asked me (Allison) to write an update for her, so here we go. Dad got out of surgery a few minutes ago, and they were able to fix everything that they were planning on fixing. Everything went really, really well and the surgeons are all very pleased. The pressure in his right ventricle pre-surgery was around 90; it has dropped into the 40s and the doctors are expecting it to drop some more, so that is amazingly good. Mom and Grandmother will be able to see him in a little while, though the doctors are planning on keeping him asleep for a bit. Mom will update with more information as she gets it. Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers!
