Quick surgery update..

Aiden came out of surgery just fine, it took about 3 1/2 hours.

The surgeon chose not to do the hernia repair at the same time which means Aiden will have another surgery probably sometime next week. We've been told the hernia surgery's are fairly simple however he will have to be re-intubated again next week.

He is currently on a ventilator while he is on pain medication, they will try to ween him off slowly but we were told it could take around 24 hrs.

He will more than likely be staying at Sutter for a bit longer than expected, we suspect it will be 7-10 days.

The surgeon does not want to release him back to Mercy until he knows the "plumbing" is working correctly.

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and & support :)
