Milan is so relieved to have the breathing tubes removed. Immediately, he whispered, "That feels better." Our Milan set a record--breathing tubes can stay in as long as two days and he got the okay for removal in two and a half hours. (He told me he would set that record before the surgery:)
Dr. Laks visited the family yesterday. Turns out this surgery was even more imperative than we originally thought. Dr. Laks informed us Milan's mitral valve was abnormal all together, his atrium was abnormally enlarged (we knew he had a big heart), and he had significant leakage from the valve as well. He described the procedure as a complicated repair, which explains the length of the surgery. We felt your prayers throughout the day, but still found ourselves anxious when things took longer than expected. Dr. Laks described the results as favorable considering the task at hand. He is satisfied with the efficiency of Milan's heart. Yay!

Wishing you a very speedy recovery, Milan! So glad to hear they were able to repair your own valve so you don't have to have that "foreign" object rejection problem! Praise to Our Mighty God for His Love and Favor to you during this major operation!
Best, Russ & Judy Williams
Milan has always been "the man" to our family and we are praising our gracious God and trusting him for MIlan's complete recovery!

The children, Steve and I have been praying for you, Milan, and I see that God has been faithful to answer so many prayers on your behalf. We are SO relieved and pleased to hear the surgery went well, and we continue to pray for a swift recovery. Blessings to you and your family.
