The anesthesiologist didn't feel comfortable moving forward with surgery today because of Steffan's lungs (pneumonia). The surgeon felt things would've been fine, but the anesthesiologist has the final say and he/she's being extra cautious. They will reschedule the surgery for next week. Could be as early as Monday.
We've made friends with another visitor who's wife had a similar thing - she had a bout of pneumonia also, but it cleared in a few days and they had a successful surgery after that.
In the meantime, Steffan's ICPs are so low that they are considering weaning him off the paralytic again - so that's really great news that the swelling is under control for now. And general consensus is that he looks even more handsome today than he did yesterday. And Kelvin is wearing his lucky pants.
Thank you all for these updates... it’s been a way to feel connected and stay updated so thank you so much. We’re sending love and good thoughts from Ireland to cousin Steffan.
