Robbie's surgery: Post 3

Every hour we got a status on how Robbie was doing:

9:15 incision was made
10:00 confirmed that Robbie was doing well on the heart and lung machine
11:15 things are going smoothly, the ventricle hole has been repaired
12:15 Robbie is off the heart lung machine and is stable; his heart is repaired;the next step is to close his chest
12:45 Surgery Complete! We spoke with Dr. Birch and the surgery went well. The only major challenge was inserting the IV since Robbie has small arteries.

1:15 Josh and I went and had lunch; both of us agree that we feel a bit numb and some food would be a good idea.
2:15 now we are waiting to see Robbie; he is in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit)

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
