O.R.

James left us for the OR room at 8:10 this morning. They told us they thought this new technique would take less time. They had the OR booked from 8am-11am, but figured it would only take two hours. At 10:10am we received a brief update that all is going well so far, but it sounds like they had only started to actually do the cleaning. They were just taking the first sample over to the scientist who will be studying it. They advised they figured it would probably take another two hours.

After he comes out of OR he will be in recovery for 2-4 hours. They will determine when they are done whether it is safe to take him off of ventilation on whether he will need to stay intubated and go to the ICU.

We will update when opportunity arises again. Thank you for all your prayers.
