Surgery Day

Hi All, Its about 2 p.m. Colby went in for surgery at 12:15. They say it'll take about 4 hours and that they'll update us, no updates yet. We just got some lunch and got back up to the waiting room. Everyone was thrilled that we FINALLY picked a name. Dr. Hirsch came by yesterday while we were out and said they better have a name by the time we do surgery. She said she didn't want to do the surgery without the baby having a name. So when she came up this morning she gave us "the look" and said do we have a name, I said yup and she put her hands in the air with a big YES! It was funny. I was able to hold Colby for almost an hour today it was great. When I first held him he opened his eyes up and was looking all around. The saddest part is when he starts to struggle. He gets pretty worked up, it has to due with the medicine he's on and his breathing tube. So after a while they gave him some morphine and ativan to calm him down. Then Jess got to hold him again also.

We just got an update as I'm typing this. Colby is currently on a bypass machine and they have started the actual procedure. He is doing fine as of now.
