Surgery is on...

Surgery will proceed this morning at 8:30am. It's a 2-3 hour procedure, this will be Joshua's biggest step to recovery. The surgeon and nurse warned us that it's the worse step, and Joshua will be very sick for the first 24-48 hours.

He has been a champ, the surgeon was amazed that he was just on 26-28 % oxygen from the ventilator this morning. The throat infection that was brought to our attention last night is a minor detail that will not affect the surgery.
