The doctor did come in earlier to answer my questions. She thought he was jumpy because he was still in pain, so she changed his pain meds. He does seem to be doing a bit better. He's snoozing away right now.
I also found out he got to keep his thymus gland, which I'm happy about. It is standard procedure to remove the thymus when doing pediatric heart surgery. Before the surgery, I expressed my concern to the surgeon about removing it at such a young age. He said that while it is standard practice, he understands my concern and also shares it, so he would try to save part of it if he could. It turns out that they were able to save the whole thing. I have been pretty impressed with his surgeons.
