Surgery was a success!!!!

Karter was out of surgery and in the ICU by 12:30 today. The surgeon said that the operation went very well and there were no major complications. They were happy with how well everything went.

Karter is doing well now, he is resting comfortably and has slept the full afternoon. They have him on morphine, Tylenol and on an anti-biotic to ward off any infection from surgery. He had been on two medications to limit the swelling and to help with the post-op nausea.

He look quite good, he is a bit swollen already and is quite pain. He has a bandage all around his head that should come off sometime tomorrow. The surgeon anticipates that he will go home in two to three days as long as there are no complications.

We feel at peace and have had a rather easy day all things considered.

I will update later tonight if I get a chance and I will post a few pictures so that you can see how he looks.

Thanks for all your prayers!
