Surgery Part 4

2:44pm Tucker is off the bypass machine and they are just closing him now.  Everything went great.  There was a lot of scar tissue that they took their time to get through. But it wasn't an abnormal amount.  Dr Emani preformed an intra-cardiac repair, which was exactly what he had anticipated.  All of the heart pressures looked good on the internal echo.  Tucker did receive blood from the bypass machine, however he did not need an additional blood transfusion.  The surgical team will glue the incision closed and we can see him in a little over an hour and a half on 8 South.
