It was very successful. They did the full repair and were able to save his valve, which is great! He's recovering now and should be weaned from the ventilator tonight or tomorrow and woken up tomorrow afternoon. He's going to stay in the PCICU for about 5 days or so. Parents can't stay in the PCICU so I'm going home for the first time in days. Looking forward to a shower and sleep.
