Surgery Has Begun

Well, we just met with Dr. Hanley. He is now back in the OR ready to open Burke up. Burke is all prepped and ready to go. The surgery can take anywhere from 6 to 8 hours. Primary's gave up hourly updates, but this hospital doesn't do that. We should hear though in about 2 hours or so if they will be able to close the hole in his heart or not. They will send word out to us when the surgeon knows what he will do. He sounded confident in closing the hole, but this morning he wanted to make sure we knew that there is still a chance that they won't be able to close the hole. We are hopeful, very hopeful.

This time taking him back into the OR was hard because we know what he was going to be up against these next few weeks. I just want him to be comforted through this time and I know Heavenly Father will do that. They gave him some medicine to make him good and happy. He was pretty giggley before I put him on the crib they took him back on. We will try to keep everyone updated. I forgot my phone so call Tyler's if you need. Thank you for all your love support and prayers during this time, they really help.

Here he is as they are taking him back to the OR. He looks good and relaxed! We love you buddy!
