Charlie's valve is in place! Brand new (well, USED, but new for Charlie) aortic valve.
The surgeon said that they have the graft ready to put in place of the ascending aorta. SO, they are starting that procedure next. Dad is stable and doing great. This is the most crucial part of the surgery so please pray extra hard over the next few hours.
FYI: We are now ingesting massive amounts of hot tamales, chocolate, twizzlers, and pez candies. UNO tournament becoming heated and Uncle Joe telling crude jokes while the entire waiting room laughs.
Here is a picture of our homemade man. He looks a little like Uncle Joe (behind)
Praying!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSaying another prayer! God, we trust you!
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you enough how grateful I am for these updates. I am praying for Uncle Charlie. I hope you guys in the waiting room don't go too crazy. Here is an update from home: Debbie Burress posted on her fb that she fell on the ice and broke her arm, she will be having surgery tomorrow - so say a prayer for her, too. Love you all.
ReplyDeleteI love your homemade man, BTW. The face of your man reminds me of the mask I made from a paper plate...I had to wear it due to a rule in a game we played a few weeks ago called Quelf. Nick would love to tell you all about it!
ReplyDeleteDebbie Burress (the one married to Little Billy). I'm sorry for any cofusion. Ohio has ice everywhere. Our schools were closed today. It's getting messy out there again.
