Out of Surgery!

The case manager just called to tell us that Hunter is in recovery in the PICU. It will take an hour or so to untangle his support systems and to get him hooked up to all of his new "friends" (IV's, drains, fluids, breathing tube, feeding tube etc)...things are progressing nicely though we are still cautious to say it was successful as that term has yet to cross anyones lips...but we take the time of surgery as good sign. We will get to visit him in about an hour...that will be a new experience, they provided us with a book of photos of children in recovery so we are not alarmed at what we see...we have both been staring at the book but have yet to crack it...something about looking at your own kid hooked up vs someone else's...
