December 1, 4:25 AM:  The heart is in! Another hour maybe hour and a half of closing things up and finishing up the surgery!  It went well! The heart physically fit well, and the swelling was low enough that they are going to close up his chest, unlike the plan!

1:30 PM:  Levi is still sedated but they are lowering the sedation, starting to wake him up.  The nurse said he is moving his hands and feet when asked to.  She thinks they'll take the breathing tube out in about an hour.

2:30 PM:  The doctor that did Levi's surgery just came by.  He said he's very happy how things went and that Levi is doing very well.  He also showed me a picture of the old heart.

3:10 PM:  He's awake and off the ventilator!  They let Jessica and I go in for about 5 minutes. The nurse said, "We never get them off the ventilator this fast."
