Norwood surgery

James was rolled away and taken into surgery at 9:00 this morning. We met with a cardiologist and we saw the surgeon before they started. We got an update at 10:24 saying that they had prepared everything and they were ready to start the surgery. The surgery should take around 3 hours but could take longer depending on how smooth everything goes and they will need an hour or so to get him back to his room and get him situated. We will be able to see him when they roll him back from surgery and then we will talk to the surgeon when he is done. We will recieve updates every hour to hour and a half. His Norwood might be alittle different from how I have previously described it. They might do the sano instead of the shunt that I was explaining. You can see it on the picture that I posted earlier. The difference is a thicker tube going straight from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. Keep us in your thoughts.
