Things are under way.

They took him back to the OR at about 7:45 this morning. We haven't heard anything yet, but they told us it often takes an hour & a half or even 2 hours for anesthesia to put him under, get all the monitors on & lines in, and get him positioned before they actually start surgery. 

He did better than I expected this morning. He was hungry, but didn't cry about it too much and then fell back asleep. I'll post when we know more.
