We just spoke to Dr. Ross and the surgery is finished. It went really well and they were able to get a lot of the membrane cleaned off, even some membrane that was actually attached to the aortic valve so even that is functioning better now. Dr. Ross is not anticipating the need for a pacemaker and also thinks that they may have got enough membrane out that he shouldn't need to repeat the surgery.The mitral valve also looks good he said. Great news!!!
Max is still in the operating room as they will be waking him up and extubating him before moving him to the PICU. We haven't seen him yet and are anxious to do so. Will keep you posted.
