Port is In

The Port is in place and the surgery went well. Junior was his gunky self so they decided they needed to do a bronch while he was intubated to be sure he had no plugs. After everything was done getting the tube out was a bit of a bumpy ride but they succeeded and he was placed on bipap to wake up. Being so late in the day there was no way he was going to be awake enough to be off bipap for the drive home so we are staying the night. Hopefully the night will go smoothly and we will be heading home tomorrow. Junior always wakes up very slowly from anesthesia so I pray he doesn't decide he needs to sleep his way through tomorrow as well and keep us here an extra day.
Thank you all for your prayers.

My sisters husband had his surgery bumped to tomorrow morning. He will be headed for the operating room at 6am.

Yeah for a successfull extubation. I talked our pulmo into trying bi pap with jax instead of c pap. He just keeps desating on it.
