We got home late last night. My BIL's surgery went well. The only thing that came up that they didnt expect with the surgery is that they had to repair the tricuspid valve also. That carries alot of the electrodes for the pacemaker part of the heart. So they are having a hard time getting his heart rate adjusted to a normal rate right now. He may have to have a pacemaker put in. Hopefully it will work out before they have to do that though. He is in good spirits. Talking well. He knows what is going on and can tell them where to go if he needs to lol. And obviously with open heart surgery .. he is in alot of discomfort. But relieved it is all overwith and is on the road to recovery.We are all so glad he is doing ok. and his color is good. Very happy with his doctor and the hospital.
Surprisingly.. the family asked me to be the contact because I understand most of the medical jargan. I was very honored by this... but skeptical too.
Thanks everyone for keeping him/us in your thoughts and prayers. Its been a long few days here. My husband and I have done alot of sleeping today !!! lol.
