Finished!!!
Conner has a new descending aorta, made of gore tex, 14mm diameter, 5 inches long, and we will be able to see him in about an hour! The surgeon said Conner did great, and only threw one curve ball - which is when they decided to use bypass, and cut a larger incision to have a better view and working area. His blood pressure is now identical in his lower and upper body. He chose to do nothing with the collateral vessel at this point thinking that would have been too much during one procedure, AND because anything he decides to do with the collateral can be done via catheter at a later date. Overall, everything went fantastic! Now the waiting to see him....

The entire Wellesley High School Boys Basketball team was thinking about Conner throughout the entire day and into our practice. We are so pleased to hear the good news. Please let Conner know he is 1-0 as our assistant coach!!
We are so thrilled to the wonderful news about Conner's successful surgery! Please know we will continue to keep Conner and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers.
