2 hrs into surgery

We have been getting hourly (approx.) updates on Andrew. The nurse just called and said that they just started repairing the pulminary artery 'something'. I know there is a narrowing of the line there and that is what they are reconstructing. This is the first of three things they are attempting to fix. Andrea, the nurse, said that "everything is going as expected". i guess that's all for now, Bess and I are just going to watch a video or something to relax. The emotional stress of this is a lot more than the physical, I've never been through anything like this, I felt something click as soon as Andrew was born that made it seem like I had the strongest relationship with him for the longest time.... very strange and hard to explain. It's like there was no need to have to communicate feelings or commitments or desires to him (even if I could), but that the bond was there the first breath he took. It was put there. I never could have guessed the depths of such a short interaction with someone. Life is truly a miracle, and now I know it first hand, I will never need to debate it. Bess and I both would give our heart to him in a second. we'll let you know how it goes in a couple hours. Keep up the prayers.
