Surgery is Over

I just sent the surgeon out to talk to Mom and Dad, I think I wore him out. We've spent the last couple of hours just tidying up all my little bleeders. He was able to close up my breastbone. I do have a little pacemaker on my heart, because I beat to a different drum every now and then. Dr. Gandhi thinks this will alleviate itself in the next couple of days. I can't wait to see Mom and Dad up in my room. I want to thank everyone for praying for me my family as well as my caregivers, you don't know how much you all have comforted Mom and Dad during this stressful time.

Look at you Madox, only five days old and already stronger than most. Thanks for all the updates, I bet they answer a lot of questions for your uncle Keith. You will know all about that in a couple of years. Hang in there buddy, you have a lot of people pulling for you.
