So my 92 year old Dad was having surgery today to replace his aortic valve. I was too tired to ask for prayers and positive thoughts last night, so I figured I would potst this morning while sitting in the waiting room.
Before I had a chance to get settled and get to the board, I just got a call from the surgeon to let me know that they were finished and everything had gone incredibly smoothly and we will be able to see him in an hour or two once he is out of recovery and into a room.
I am so relieved. My anxiety has been in overdrive the last couple of days.
So instead of asking for prayers for a successful surgery, I will ask that he has a quick recovery and will be able to get home soon.
Thanks!

That is fantastic news. I’m so happy for you and your family.
My mom is almost 91 and overall in pretty good health. But she’s had a few medical issues in recent years. I would be terrified if she had to have heart surgery. Wowzers! So great to hear about your dad doing well.

Good luck to your dad! My son had his aortic valve replaces a few years ago and it’s a scary surgery. I’m glad your dad was in and out.

DS1 works in cardiac theatres and it’s quite astonishing what the surgeons are capable of and how fast they work these days. What is a huge deal for us is just another day at the office for them.
Best wishes for his easy recovery.

Thank you so much for all of the good wishes! I love how the Peas are always there with words of encouragement. I should have posted several days ago when I was so worried.
They moved him to an ICU room about an hour ago and I was able to go in and see him. He is awake and talking, although still a bit groggy. Tomorrow they will move him to a step down room and I know that by then or the next day he will be asking when he can go home.
His cardiologist said this will give him another dozen years or so, LOL. Considering he is in great health (except for that pesky valve) maybe.
