Out and in ICU for the night

We haven't been able to see him except for a moment when he passed us in the hall into the ICU. The surgeon Dr. Miller just gave us a recap of the journey with Jason today. What a miracle is all I can truly say to describe what he told us.
They replaced the aneurysm, which they discovered after 4-5 hours of cutting into him due to the significant amount of scar tissue that Jason's body produces, was paper thin in multiple areas where the doctor could actually see the blood pumping through. Which by the way, is not normal. We found out that Jason had a bicuspid valve with a bovine arch. I will let all of you internet researchers figure out what exactly that means. The Dr. as of yet does not know exactly why Jason had the aneurysm but will look at cells under the microscope to see if he can see anything more clearly. Currently Jason is stable, sedated, and the only concern is his blood not clotting normally. Justin, our resident doctor assured us that it was pretty normal considering the amount of scar tissue and the length of the surgery. They are giving him platelets and plasma to help him with the clotting. They will continue to monitor this and hopefully it will slow down on its own and they won't have to go back in and cauterize the sources of the bleeding. Needless to say, we are all relieved and anxious to see him briefly tonight. Hopefully in the morning he will be awake and have his breathing tube out. That is the official update and we will keep you posted.
God Bless and thank you for the prayer support through this time for us.
