Dad's surgery

As for Dad's bypass and valve surgery goes...  I'll try and update this as I gain more information, but for now Dad's latest update is he's off the bypass machine and they are finishing up.  That was as of 1:30.

3pm:  He's now out of surgery and headed to ICU for some one to one care and rest.  Good news is that they were able to repair the bad valve instead of having to replace it.

9pm:  He's looking good, Kevin and I went to visit for a short time.  He's still sedated and intubated but they are starting to wean him off the ventilator and he'll probably be extubated this evening.

11am Friday:  Dad is doing great!  He's extubated now, they get him up for each meal and walk him now about four times a day.  Now on the road to recovery and healing!
