Crossposting this from Cagair on the NC state Forum.   Sounds like Dalton is doing well.

I spoke with Rose a little bit ago. I apologize for not posting sooner (she called me around 3:30) but I'm at work and well...   my lead standing over talking about work kept me from posting.

Dalton got out of surgery between 2:30 and 3pm.  The surgery went well, though they did not do the chest reconstruction that was originally planned along with the abdominal skin removal and muscle tightening.

The surgery started a little late, as Rose posted and with him being on the table for 6.5 hours just on the abdominal procedure, Dr. S didn't want to take the risks of him being on the table under the anestesia longer.

Rose said that Dr. S told her that they tightened up the skin a lot - to suit his frame much better and felt that Dalton would be very pleased.

Dalton's been taken to a recovery room.  Rose is still up there and waiting to be able to see him.

I'm sure one of us will provide further updates.
