It is 5:40 local time, and Cary has been out of surgery since about 4:00 local...which means that she was in surgery for 6 to 6 1/2 hours. Dr. Dearani (sp?) said that the surgery went "exactly as planned." He seemed a little self confident yesterday, and that was confirmed today. But he is almost universally accepted to be the best at what he does, and he proved it today. He was able to repair Cary's tricuspid valve and make her atrium smaller. He also installed a pace maker to help keep her heart rhythm regular. Everyone is optimistic that she won't need it, but Cary and I are glad it's there...just in case.
I am debating taking a couple snap shots of her with her breathing tube lying in ICU, but I think one of these days Cary will read what I've written, and I'd get in trouble. So let me just say 2 things:
1. Cary is doing great and recovering and
2. No John Doyle it wasn't breast enhancement surgery.
More tomorrow!!!!
