A new central line

We made it to surgery today. Bridger was supposed to go in at 10:30am, but in true fashion they didn't take him until almost 2:00pm. It didn't take too long, he didn't bleed alot, and they were able to take the breathing tube out in the OR so all in all it went well. Now because of his pulmonary hypertension these smaller procedures are not as cut and dry as before, there is more risk in putting him on a breathing tube and under general anesthesia, so I am glad there were no surprises today. Bridger now had a central line in his right thigh, hopefully we can hang on to this one for a bit. I posted on the other blog that we have 400 cranes up here at the hospital, I think we may have surpassed the 1000, so maybe that means I will be able to make the same wish twice (wouldn't that increase our odds?). Thank you all sooo much for helping us with this. So for the rest of the day the plan is just to get Bridger back to where he was before surgery.
