The nurse brought out my camera. There are a couple shots of his chest open and several of the Dacron tube. She took the ones of the graft on the monitor that the surgeon uses for the detail stitches. I could see the leaflets of the aortic valve and the bypass tube. For my surgery, I am going to ask them to get one of the heart-lung machine as well.
I wasn't sure if I was going to be ready to see the photos, but the curiosity outweighed the nervousness. I'm glad I did. The inscision doesn't look as big as I thought it would be.
Dr Huddleston just came and said everything is good and Kai is on his way to CICU, so we are headed up there.
