We will try to post updates throughout the day.
9:00 - Luke is currently in surgery. We are waiting patiently in a family waiting room. We are lucky to be surrounded by our great families as we try to pass the time. Check back soon.
9:30 - A nurse from the operating room just called and said that everything is going great right now with the surgery.
10:20 - Luke's cardiologist has just given us an update. The surgery is mostly complete. They are just waiting to make sure he doesn't have any bleeding and then they will close him up. They said we should be able to see him an about an hour.
11:15 - Luke is out of surgery and everything went as planned with no surprises! They are currently getting him all set up in the Intensive Care Unit and we should be able to see him in the next half hour or so.
12:00 - We were just able to see Luke for the first time since the surgery. He is hooked up to about 30 different monitors, but is resting comfortably.
4:45 - No changes to report. Luke is being closely monitored by the great staff here to make sure his vitals are all where they need to be. The doctors still anticipate that Luke will be taken off the ventilator tomorrow. Molly and Matt will be spending the night in a "sleep room" in the ICU. If you are wondering about visiting, it is possible you might be able to visit on Sunday, but maybe not until Monday. We will keep you posted!
8:30 - No new news to report and right now that's a good thing. We did receive somewhat of a reality check about an hour ago when a five or six year old little boy two beds down from Luke had his heart stop. After witnessing multiple doctors adminster CPR for about 20 minutes, I'm not so sure how well we will sleep tonight. Thankfully the doctors were able to stabilize the boy, but still very scary to witness. Unless something dramatic happens, this will probably be the last update tonight. Tomorrow will be an important day for Luke, and we thank all of you for keeping him in your thoughts.

Glad to hear things went smoothly. You're in good hands in the ICU, as we know. The staff is amazing and I'm guessing he'll be moved to 3rd floor, which is just as amazing. Our prayers are with you!

Matt and Moll-
Try to get some good sleep tonight and call me tonight or tomorrow with any updates or if you need anything. I will be babysitting at 8 until 4 and at a meeting at 4:30-6:30, but can come and bring you anything after that.
Give Luke kisses for me if you can.
Love you,

Matt/Molly,
We've checked this blogsite 2-3 times a week since Luke was born. It has helped us feel connected and close, but not until yesterday did we know just how necessary it is to our mental well-being. Thank you for the updates and pleae know that our hearts are with you. Luke is never far from our thoughts. Wish we were there with you.
Love,
Aunt Cindy & Uncle Rick
