Yesterday, my dad had bypass surgery & an aneurysm repaired. Today, after work, my sister & I went up to the hospital to see how he was doing. We only got to spend maybe 10 minutes with him because about 2 minutes after we got there, the nurse came in & gave him a shot to put him to sleep. He conked out relatively quick after the shot.
The surgery went well, but my dad said it wasn't as expected. I don't know if he meant that something happened in the surgery itself or if the healing process is different than what he expected. He wasn't 100% coherent, so it was hard to hold a real conversation. But he kept saying that he was either really, really hot or really, really cold & he appeared to be in pain & the only pain meds he was being given (I think) was an epidural.
But, here's Dad giving his thumbs up that he survived the surgery. There's still a LOT of recoverin' left to do.

I'm glad he's doing as well as can be expected after that! Keep us updated on his recovery!
hey jenn, i don't really know what to say, except to say that you all are family and we/i care about you guys; it's hard to see people you love going through a hard time; if i was closer i would give you a hug- but from grandview i will continue to pray ( i believe that prayer is powerful and effective); i love you guys :)
