After a long day of sitting at the hospital, hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst, the surgeon came in to talk to us and revealed to us that things went better than anyone could have possibly expected. Aaron never had an infection. What he did have though, was a hernia. He had a loop of intestine trapped beneath another loop, and while it was never "infected," it was trapped and deprived of blood, so it was dead.
The surgeon removed the damaged loop, and thankfully, there is plenty more intestine left in there for Aaron. He's recovering peacefully from today's surgery, and was already at 28% oxygen (21% is room air) on the ventilator, and his other stats were all back where they were pre-surgery. He's doing fine.
I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well-wishes during this time. I fully believe that Aaron wouldn't have rebounded from yesterday's procedure so quickly, and wouldn't have been as ready for today's if not for those prayers, and for God's intervention. The surgeon actually said that Aaron was in as perfect shape for his surgery as anyone could have possibly hoped. God made Aaron ready, and your prayers guided the surgeon's hand during the procedure. In the end, everything is good, and Aaron is on the (long) road to recovery.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you, God. Thank you.
P.S. As you can see...I've attached an adorable picture of Aaron's face, post-op. He's BEAUTIFUL, isn't he?
