The surgery was a success!
The doctors lowered Errol's body temperature during the surgery to slow his bleeding and now they are warming Errol back up (350 for 25 minutes?) Errol is off the heart-lung machine and the surgeon is stitching him back up and he will soon be up to the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit for recovery.
It's still going to be a long and bumpy road to full recovery, but Errol's heart is working on its own, and better than ever (while they were under the hood they fixed a leaky valve).
We feel all your love!!!
Now on to the PCICU!
More updates to come.

Great news - way to go Errol! Can't wait to see that special smile of yours. Love to all the family.
Fabulous news. I have had a special feeling for Errol since we met. My sister Beth Thompson let me know about the surgery so I could send healing thoughts. Those prayers will continue as Errol recovers.
Looks like Santa came early this year! Yu have all been in my prayers all day and will stay in my heart!
I juts knew that Errol would make it through with flying colors as he has way too much good living left to do.
Happy days ahead,

I have been thinking about how Errol backwards is Lorre or Lore. Errol sure does have many stories to share to make this world brighter and more full of smiles and promise.
Thanks for the "Lorre" Errol!
We are so happy to hear the great news, and so THANKFUL!!!!!!
