Open-Heart Surgery

John came through his open-heart surgery just fine. He underwent surgery yesterday to repair a large hole between the left and right ventricles of his heart. He was in surgery for about 4 hours. He's in intensive care, but may be moved out of ICU as early as this evening. Mostly he wants to get up and explore, and would -- if he could just free himself from the wires and tubes attached to him.

Thanks for all your prayers on John's, and mom and dad's, behalf. Please continue to pray for a complication-free recovery. I'll send further updates as time permits.
