After 5 and a half hours (anticipated 3-4 hours), Dexter has been taken to the ICU for close monitoring of his pain relief.
They were unable to perform the full surgery because of some complications, but we haven’t had a chance to speak with his surgeon yet to find out the full meaning of that!
He is in pain, but is breathing on his own and his levels all look ok.
His brace is on and looks huge.
He will be super cranky when he wakes up, but we have promised him loads of chocolates and ice cream!
He is in good hands with the nurses in the ICU.
On Sunday, Kate Vickery took photos of our family. She’s amazing. She captures the love and the laughter, the craziness and the gentleness. And, she sent the photos to us early this morning, so we would have something beautiful to help us through the hardest parts of the surgery.
Go to Kate Vickery Photography on Facebook to see more photos. Give her some love from us.

More tomorrow.
