John was taken to surgery at 8 am this morning. We received updates about every hour on his progress. At about 1:30 John's surgeon came out to tell us that they were finishing up and all went very well! We were able to see john about an hour later in the ICU.
John was still knocked out when we got there. At 3:00pm they pulled out his breathing tube and he was breathing on his own. Little by little he was becoming more alert. Thomas left Vandy at shift change to get home to put Abigail and Caleb down. He is staying at home since only one parent can stay in the ICU.
We want to thank everybody for the thoughts, prayers, gifts, visits, meals, (heck I'll be here till morning typing how much we appreciate every one's help and support)
THANK YOU!!!
Thomas, Angela, Abigail, Caleb and "Teflon" John
