Sorry we did not update last night. It was a long day.
He was scheduled to have surgery this morning at 7:30 to fix the hole in his diaphragm and bring his stomach and intestines down into his abdomen. They started surgery around 8:20. The nurse called a few minutes ago to say that they are closing him up and all went well! We are now just waiting for the doctor to come over and talk to us.
Cooper's nurse came in and told us that he will be down in the OR for a few minute but should be up here in about 20 to 30 minutes.
He will struggle for the first 24 to 48 hours the doctors say. It is just a matter of how much and how long he struggles. They have a lot of room to go up on his O2 and even a different ventilator if needed. So he should be good.
thanks for all the well wishes and the prayers!
Randy
