Up date on my Father

[misterhorror]

My Father had his surgery this morning and they ran in to an unexpected problem.
  They found a hole in one of the valves and had to patch that before they put the pacemaker in
    He'll be in ICU for the rest of today until their sure he's stable then they'll move him to a regular room.If all goes well he'll come home on Saturday or Sunday.
   He was still unconcious when my Mom and I left.We'll go back later when he's awake to see how he's doing.
   He recieved a package today from the USPS with no return address.The post mark was from IL so will who ever sent it please tell us so my Dad can thank you when he gets home?
   I post an update later today after I go see him again.

I hope he's comfortable and will be out and at home soon.

I hope his recovery is quick and smooth.

You should receive a package from me today, but my name is on it and it's coming from MO.

Best wishes indeed, for a full and rapid recovery.  Very sorry to hear of the unexpected problem, but it's fixed and that should make a very positive difference. 

[gracebuster]

Prayers are with you.

Actually, it's probalbly better they found the valve thing and fixed it now. More of a blessing then a curse, I believe.

Just got back from seeing my Dad and he was awake this time but really sedated.
He has some sort of pump he can press to get pain medication and he was just about wareing it out while we were there.
   Mr Castle your package for Dad did arrive and I signed his name for it.Thank you for thinking of him.
    Anyone sending Dad anything please let me no so I can keep a list so he can thank you all when he comes back on.

Amber,

Those patient-controlled pain medication dispensers are good, but there is a limit to how much they'll dispense (so as to prevent the patient from overdosing themselves).   I'm glad to hear that he's feeling ornery.  lol  That's a good sign.  Give them Hell, Tom.

It's great that he's awake & talking, even if it is complaining! It shows that he has a lot of fight still in him. I assume that he'll be home Sunday.

Just came from seeing Dad this morning.They had him up and sitting in a chair.He says their going to have him try and walk some this afternoon.
He's still gripeing about his chest being so sore and dosen't miss a chance to tell any doctor that walks by his room.
My Mom talked to the surgeon and he said we could probably take Dad home tomorrow if he dose't have any relapse or complications.
I'll let you know more later when we go back to see him again.

P.S.There was a couple that posted they were sending a package the other day?Are you still planning on doing that?Please let me know so I can put your names down with the others.
