Surgery is Over
My dad had a quadruple bypass this morning, he had 8 blockages in 4 arteries. He did very well, the heart started beating as soon as they took him off the pump which is apparently is a very good thing. Today is sort of a lost day for him, probably a blessing :-). He will not be conscious until tomorrow. The doctor let us see him, my mom was very sweet, fixed his hair for him and held his hand. He will be in ICU for the rest of his hospital stay, we hope we can bring him home in 4 or 5 days if he does well. We are home now so my mom can get some rest and we will call every hour or so to check and see how he is doing! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

EXCELLENT!! Yes, breathing independently is exactly what you want! Hang in there and don't you wear yourself out taking care of everyone else!
Glad to hear that he came through the surgery. Your dad is in my thoughts and prayers.

Glad your Dad's surgery went well.
So glad his surgery went well. Praying for his speedy recovery.
How are you holding up, kiddo? Glad your dad's surgery was successful - it is scary to think of what would have happened if he had ignored his symptoms. Will keep you all in my prayers!
So glad that everything went well Katrina :)
I bet you're all relieved that's over with. I'll keep praying.
I'm so glad that he did so well! At least the worst part is over now. He'll be sore when he awakens but they usually give them "heart" pillows to squeeze to their chest when they cough, sneeze, laugh, etc. I still have my Pap's from when he had his heart surgery.
I'm still praying and wishing for the best recovery every :)
I'm so glad all is going well so far for your Dad! I'll be thinking of you and your family. :-)
Good to hear your Dad is doing well after his major operation. My Dad had a quadruple bypass about 5 years ago, and he bounced back quite quickly. Sending lots of good wishes your Dad's way.
Katrina, so glad to hear your Dad is doing quite well after his surgery. I'll be praying for him to have a speedy recovery! :) Take care!!
