To all,
For those of you familiar with the earlier threads regarding my family's situation here is an update:
My father's valve replacement surgery took place on Thursday, October 26th, at the University of Minnesota. The surgery was completed by Dr. Liao. It is now Monday the 30th. I am happy to report the surgery was a success with no surprises.....I take that back...one surprise that has begun to show itself in the last 24 hours - My father's kidney function has increased. While we are hopeful this continued we are being cautiously optimistic about what it could mean for my father.
Back to the surgery:
The incision was made @ 9:10 a.m. and he was moved to CICU at approximately 2:30 that afternoon. He received a bovine valve and all went according to plan. The valve appears to be functioning properly and there have been no unfortunate surprises that have arisen. My dad is scheduled to be discharged on Tuesday or Wednesday. I will give more details if people wish please just ask.
We have been extremely pleased witht he competency, compassion, and quality of care we have received from the U. Dr. Liao has been checking regularly on my father and we have received great care at the U.
Thanks to all who have helped answer questions in the past. We very much appreciate your prayers and concerns.
