A Quick Eli Update

Just wanted to let everyone know what's going on with Eli...

He's pink! Pink I tell you. Pink!

(Shannon will post a full blown post later if anyone is wanting more detail). The procedure went quite well. We got to see him around 2pm and he was sedated and asleep in the bed. His sats (with a little assistance from oxygen) were at 97%! Holy smokes. Amazing.

We were told that when he came to he tried to jump up and out of the bed and run home. Crazy boy. I totally believe it too. The staff has been amazed at his strength.

Simply put - he is doing amazing. The first 12-24 hours are the critical timeframe and they are keeping him sedated during this time. We welcome the drugs. :-) He is well and we are well. We'll keep you posted later...
