We are all smiles!! The surgeon came out sooner than expected and said that everything went very smoothly. They fixed the hole in is heart, stopped the valve leakage (as much as they could - there will still be a little bit) and they were actually able to cut out a piece of abnormal muscle that was coincidentally found in this right ventricle. This is great because 20-30% of these growths require surgery at some point in life and he just took care of that now! Next comes the hard part when we see him for the first time - in about 30 minutes or so.
