Surgery is over

We just spoke with Dr. Bove and Audra is just coming out of the operating room.  She did really well and he said that everything went as planned.  There were no unexpected complications.  Her shunt is in and functioning well.  All good news.  Of course, the next few weeks are critical to her recovery and she has a long way to go but this is a huge relief.  We will get to see her in about another hour.

As I shook Dr. Bove's hand, I couldn't help but get emotional as his hands have been in my daughter's chest and they are really healing hands.  We are very thankful for Dr. Bove, his team and all the prayers and thoughts from all of you! Please keep the prayers and thoughts coming!! :)
