Surgery


Tyler's surgery went well. I brought him down to pre-op with the nurses and he was looking so good and so cute. The anesthesiologist went over everything with me again. All the risks and complications. With that being said he also said that Tyler was in his opinion with the top surgeon in the world for Norwood procedures. He was in surgery until 4:00. The surgeon called and he said that everything went well. His heart rhythm and function was looking good after surgery. They reconstructed the aorta through donor tissue since it was too small. They placed a synthetic conduit from a hole that they made in his heart to I believe the PA. He was excited that there weren't heart fibroid in the way that allowed him to make the tube go directly into the heart which isn't always possible. He felt really optimistic. Surgery went well.
