    Update: today’s procedure went well and took about 12-13 hours. He’ll spend the night in the ICU and they’ll start again tomorrow morning. He’s expected to spend 2 weeks in the hospital before he can go home. Thanks for all the kind wishes! I’m happy he’ll be able to wake up to a ‘Cats victory!
