zoanthropicEverything went well in surgery, though there was one surprise.
Turned out to be a Quintuple bypass. They took one whole vein from his leg to do it. Surgery lasted 8 hours due to the extra bypass needed. (Originally thought to be a Quad bypass)
He is in ICU resting comfortably. The prognosis is good, considering how good of shape he's in. No release date yet, but we're hoping for the middle of next week.
To say I'm relieved is an understatement. And the support from all of you has been incredible. Thank you all so much.
