Anesthesia

Good News. We just spoke with the both the OR nurse and Bridger's cardiologist and the anesthesia induction went well. It took 3 anesthesiologists to get IV access, but they had success. He is now on the hear-lung machine (bypass) and they are preparing to begin the repair.
We will get hourly updates from one of the nurses which will help with the nail-biting waiting period. I checked in with the Cardiac ICU-where Bridger was in Dec.when he had RSV- and saw many familiar faces. The silver lining from that very scary experience is that we know that the care here at Children's is phenomenal. We also know from that experience that Bridger is a tremendously strong little guy. Just a few hours after being extubated and off the ventilator he was nursing. A day later, he was smiling. We are hoping for another quick recovery. He is most definitely a resilient little guy. More updates to follow...
