Sigh of Relief

Well, the surgery went well today. It has been a long day, but Maddox is doing great. When we left for shift change he was still sleeping. They have been keeping him sedated trying to get his blood preasure down. He also has been bleeding quite a bit and we were worried for awhile that Dr. AK would have to take him back to the OR and stop the bleeding. However, it seems to have slowed considerably and is clotting nicely. Once that is under control they will let him start waking up and extubate him. He can have clear liquids 6 hours after extubation, and if he tollerates that we can feed him. Sometime tomorrow. Poor baby! Maddox is such a little fighter though, and we are grateful or that!

Will update again soon!
