It has been a rough two days. I want to thank you for all of your prayers. They helped so much!<P>The surgery was long yesterday. He had to have a quadruple bypass, an aorta value replacement and mirto value repair. They didn't find out about the aorta value until they went in. He went to surgery at 7 and didn't come out until around 1. <P> We saw him in ICU at 3ish. We decide to go home house is about 15 min. away for hospital. And MIL was exhausted she is 76 years old. Around 5 they called us for permission to go back in.<P>He had started bleeding somewhere so at 6 they went back in. His blood was not cloting right so there ws a lot of seepage. hey had to give him stuff to make him clot, and they had to clean up the blood. <P>We saw him at about 9 in ICU. We brought MIL home and got her to bed. I am getting ready to go back to the hospital shortly. <BR>The doctor feels confident that he will be okay. BUt when you start out with a mild heart attack and go through all of this, and this is a man who has hardly been sick a day in his life, well you can't help but worry.<P>Now check out my other post as it will contain good news.<P>Again thanks for all your paryers. I love you all, I could feel all of your support during this crisis!<P><P>------------------<BR>di<P>
