lines and tubes, oh my

We just received our first update from the cardiovascular surgery nurse practitioner. Bobby is doing fine. To this point they have mostly just done prep work - putting in a central IV line, replacing his g-tube mic*key button with a foley catheter, etc. Bubs is a tough stick so all that takes some time.

Now they have started the process of opening him up. Its a difficult process that becomes more difficult with each surgery. The scar tissue from previous work bleeds a lot and is difficult to work with. Poor Bubs. Thank goodness he'll be asleep for the rest of the day.
