Recovery

We just spoke with Dr. Jaggers, the cardio-thoracic surgeon and they will be moving Bridger into the CICU shortly. It sounds like things went quite smoothly. He did have to patch B's main pulmonary artery, in addition to the branch PA's, because it was also found to be very stenosed. They will be watching him very closely as his heart adjusts to the lower pressure gradients. We will hopefully be able to see him in about an hour. I think we are prepared- after seeing him intubated in Dec.- though this time around he will have chest tubes, internal pacemaker wires, arterial-line, etc. Excited to be able to see him soon.
