He had his open heart surgery today! The doctor said he sailed through this with flying colors. Scott, Dave, Kristy, & I drove to Tallahassee last night so that we could be there this morning before he went into the OR. Dave didnt tell dad he was coming but dad had a gut feeling. Dave had to be the "golden child"!!
The surgery took about 3 hours. It was amazing how much better his color looked just after surgery. Doctors said once they replaced his valve the heart took off. Lets hope this is what he needed to start feeling better and get moving more sooner than later. Without a doubt he was in pain but was in good spirits once we were able to see him.
For every day he is in the hospital that is one week of recovery. The plan is to have him out within 5 days. How they can cut his chest open, rip it open then send him home within days after is the crazy to me.
Learning through memories and alot of Laughter!!!
