Just a quick up date.... Rich did well through the night and is still under heavy sedation. This allows his new heart and body time to get use to each other without having other functions taking energy too. His chest is still open at this time. We are waiting for the blood seepage to slow down and for some of his blood elevations to level out. Once this happens they can close him up. This is all normal stuff when you go through a transplant. Dr. Bailey is hoping to close him up later today, but it might be tomorrow..... All is good and we continue to move in the right direction. Not much to tell you at this time since it is healing time.
I want to say that the doctors, nurses and staff her at AGH continue to be very helpful, understanding and top notch! We are thankful for all of them that have gotten Richard this far..
