The "Right" Side

Jim's surgery is just getting underway, even though they took him back over an hour ago. He was in good spirits while in his waiting room, and is anxious to get this behind him. The anesthesiologist came out and told us that he is doing well. He will be breathing on only his left lung throughout the procedure - this is accomplished through a special intubation tube, which actually has two separate tubes. The two tubes allow the surgery team to only inflate the lung they want. All we can do now is wait, and it will probably be a couple of hours before we hear anything. Thank you to everyone who is fasting and praying on his, and our, behalf today.
