2nd update on surgery

One of the surgical nurses just came in to tell us that they are sewing in the patch on the diaphragm. Apparently, it took longer than they thought to get everything out of the chest cavity. He is being transfused with some blood products....not exactly sure whose, but it was from one of our friends who donated. They really can't tell us anything more than that right now, but they said if they are still working on him at 5:30pm, they will come in to update us the progress at that point. We will try to keep you posted.
