Our champ!

Baby Lo is out of surgery!! His surgeon said it was a classic, medium sized hole in his diaphragm. He was able to do the majority of it thoracoscopically (sp?) but had to finish with a small incision on the side of his abdomen. He was able to sew it instead of using a gortex patch. Lalo stayed stable as a rock while on anesthesia. His small intestine and part of his liver were in his abdomen so the right lung is extremely small, but the surgeon did say the lung looked healthy. Everything fit back in his tummy, but it was tight so they will be watching that closely. Again, the next day or so will be very critical. We will try to keep updated. Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts!
