WE MADE IT!!!
Brian and I arrived at Texas Children's Medical Center this morning around 8:30. we got to spend a little time with Brody and then it was time. Charly and Brian walked him back to the prep area and Brody was given something to help him sleep...emotions were running high. Around 11:00 Dr. Salazar, Brody's surgeon, met with us all to let us know a little bit about the procedure and what to expect. Afterwards we all prayed in the consultation room and you could feel God's presence descend...it was amazing.
At about 12:30 we were given an update that things were going well and before we knew it (around 2:00) he was done. Dr. Salazar came back in, said Brody did great, and that there wasn't much to report because all went well. The procedure, he said, was to take part of Brody's pericardium (the sac around his heart) and sew it over the dime-sized hole he had. Things went remarkably well and Thanks be to God.
Brody was moved to ICU, Charly and Brian went up first, and then we were all given a chance to visit. He woke up a few times, groggy and grumpy, hurting some, but the doctor's and nurses took good care of him and gave him some pain meds, so for the most part Brody has slept.
