The surgery went well! The surgeon just called and said that the procedure had been a success and had been conducted without any complications. Daniel is still asleep and will slowly come round in the next few hours. He'll be on pretty strong pain medication for the next 12 hours or so and so he will be out of it for a while. But it seems that all is as good as could be expected.

We could have a hard few days ahead of us as Daniel recovers, but hopefully, with this ductus closed, Daniel can now start to really thrive...

I think it's pretty cool that Daniel will be able to boast about his scar that he got before any of his peers were even BORN! How rock hard is that!
