Working on the pacemaker now ( 8:24 pm )

 Latest update is that they are working on getting the new pacemaker in place and setting the leads.  It sounds like progress to me.  The Navigation team said they don't know how much is left to do.  They did say it could still be several more hours.  It does sound like Adam is holding up well - he is a tough son of a gun.

Awakening ( 8:10 am )

 Adam is slowly waking up and is glad to hear things went so well.  He is pretty heavily sedated but has been able to write a few short messages on a notepad.  He'll likely be able to look at his phone later today so feel free to text well wishes to him.   If things go like last time he will probably remain in the ICU for several days and then graduate to the Patient Care Unit ( PCU ) for several days.   Too early for visits now, but we'll share info on how to swing by as things progress.

Tubes ( 11:45 am )

 Breathing tube is out and several vestigial IV ports have been removed.  Adam has an oxygen mask proving some positive air pressure but he can communicate more easily.  He is not ready to talk on the phone and hasn't really even looked at any messages yet.  He has been asking about when he can stand up and start walking around.  They are slowing reducing the pain management.  All good signs.  I will plan to post again end of day.
