Cautiously optimistic

About an hour and a half ago we got a good update from the physicians assistant.
#1 they didn't have any trouble getting through the old scar tissue. Very unexpected. In a good way.
#2 Dr. Hanley was very happy with the size of his aortic valve and was ready to proceed with Plan A....or as he calls it, "The Full Repair".
Now we just have to see how Tiernan tolerates it once they try him off bypass.
More as we know it.
