Surgery Update

The good news is that Dad is stable and doing fairly well. The bad news is that it was a 10 hour surgery and the first heart valve they put into today “leaked” and they had to take it out and replace it. But he is still under sedation and will probably not wake up till tomorrow.

Areas of concern:
  • neurologic damage
  • pneumonia from the long sedation
  • normal post op complications

Tomorrow will tell us a lot about how Dad fared through the surgery. So we are now home resting up and will head back to the hospital tomorrow. Please pray with us for his recovery in the days ahead.
