Good Morning, Sunshine.

It has been 15 hours since Michael's corrective surgery and he's doing well. This is a good sign.

His oxygen levels are good and steady, indicating that there is no fluid around his heart and his lungs are doing okay. All his other vitals are good. He is going in the right direction. What a rockstar.

Little Mick got many visits from his mom, dad, and aunts last night. He is resting peacefully and working hard.

We'll update in a few hours with news of his progress, since the next 10 are crucial.

Here's a picture of Michael from earlier in the week. Still just as adorable.
