It would be a nice addition to the forums if there were a "community concerns" forum for events such as this. I will post it in the site ideas to see if there is any interest.
My prayers are with you during this time. I hope that your surgery has gone well and that we shall have the joy of your presence restored to us soon. I wish you and those who love you strength and courage for the days ahead.
May you laugh much and love more in the days ahead!
Hi,
Del's surgery was a 4 hour quadruple by-pass beginning
at 7am.He is doing well. His sister and I saw him at 11:15
but he was still sedated and still had the breathing tube.We
can't see him again until tomorrow at noon,Tuesday.
When I called the recovery desk at 5pm, his nurse said
the breathing tube was removed about an hour after we saw
him, and he had been awake long enough to take some pain
medications and drink a little water. Will call again at
9pm.
The surgeon said the operation went well, and his lungs
were pretty good even though he has wide-spread emphysema.
He should recover well from the operation. The rest is up
to him.
As long as there are no complications, and he improves
as anticipated the surgeon is still looking at a Friday
release.
