Everything is okay!

Well, I can finally breath again...We just met with the surgeon, Dr. Reddy. He said everything went exactly as planned. They made a baffle from the tissue in the sack around his heart and used that to redirect the blood to the correct chamber of the heart. About 20 minutes after our meeting with Dr. Reddy, we met with the anesthesiologist and he said there were no complications with the anesthesia. In our conversation with him, he said that after they rolled Ethan out to the operating room, he told them he didn’t like their TV as much as the one that he was watching before, because it didn’t have his favorite cartoon, Curious George. So now we are waiting outside of the ICU for them to call us into his room. Cecil and I are doing well. We have had my parents here keeping us company which has been nice. Once we heard the good news, it was like a huge weight was lifted. Thank you all for your support, kind messages, and prayers! We are so grateful for our friends and family and all of the support we have received. Once I get some pictures, I will post them. Please keep praying for his continued recovery.
