Vanilla
Well its over!!! Colby's surgery is done. we just spoke to Dr. Hirsch and she said his surgery was "Vanilla" as it could be. A textbook artrial switch. She switched the aorta and pulmonary and two small coronary arteries and then repaired his valve that they had previously opened up when they did the first procedure last Thursday. He has a closed chest and he's on minimal medication. So he is doing great. We get to go back and see him in an hour. The next 24 hours are the most important and we'll be staying at the hotel here in the hospital. Thanks again to everyone for all your prayers today, it really helped!! I'll give you an update of how he looks after we get back to see him.

Sounds like the boy's got the heart of a wolverine. Take care, and try to let the hospital staff do most of the worrying for you.
Very Happy to hear the good news...we will keep the thoughts and prayers going your way. Colby is a very strong name...perfect for your little guy!
Wonderful! Vanilla never sounded so good. We know you are taking great care of each other and sweet Colby. We'll keep all of you in our prayers.
Hi Scott, Jess & Cooper,

Great news and I'm sure it's going to keep getting better.
To quote the great philosopher, Homer Simpson, WOO HOO!
