Surgery OVER

Dr. Olutoye came out about 2:30 this afternoon and said Jackson had done well with his surgery. They had to deal with a lot of adhesions because of the infection Jackson had experienced. The surgery was successful and all abdominal organs were placed in the abdomen and the diaphram was fixed--only about 1/3 of it was there and a gortex patch was used to fix it. Dr. Olutoye said there was quite a bit of lung tissue, but Kimberly can explain better tomorrow. Because Jackson is still on Ecmo there was quite a bit of bleeding & he is currently stable but pretty critical. His Mommy and Daddy won't leave his side right now. Jackson's grandparents are going to take them some dinner pretty soon. And we are sure Kimberly & Adam will update you again tomorrow as to Jackon's condition.

With constant prayer,

Bill, Cheryl & Sheila
