My father and I ran into the anesthesiologist in the cafeteria and she said things were going very well. Obviously, it is taking a little longer than they initially expected.
The official report is that the new device is tailored more towards Sam's needs, so it will not miscount or misunderstand his T-waves like the other one did on occasion (his heartbeat looks different on paper - it is backwards from a normal one, which caused problems with his original ICD). Also, it is more tailored towards his body and won't stick out as much. We don't know much about the other capabilities of this new device, but it is exciting to us to know how much technology has changed in the last six years.
He is still in surgery now. We passed his surgical nurse on the way to the PICU waiting area and she said she was on her way to go check on him right now.
Again, we covet your prayers.
