We just spoke with the surgeon and Owen came through fine. The main hole was "dime-sized" which is comparatively "medium". They also found another small hole that they hadn't been aware of and fixed that as well. His heart does not have a normal rhythm yet, so he is on a pacemaker, which is common in this case. They hope normal heart rhythm will be restored in the next day or so.
We haven't seen Owen yet, as he is still getting settled in in the intensive care unit. We will be allowed in shortly.
Thank you to all who prayed for Owen, and please continue to pray for a quick and smooth recovery, especially for his heart rhythm.
