Couldn't post as I was SO busy. Thank you Lyn for letting everyone know what was up.The surgery went well. As for his 6.2m aneurysm is was a lot bigger than that. Dr. Colvin said it was huge! They replaced the ascending and put in a cow valve. He hated the vent, NO they didn't take it out until 12 +hrs after surgery- at least. He was in the hospital 5 days. A short stay for such a major procedure. On his first night home (Tues) he sprouted a leak from his hole where the chest tube had been. Of course the Coumadin didn't help to slow it down either. BIG mess. He's doing alot of sleeping-says he got no rest in the hospital.He is complaining of upset stomach- which could be from the Iron pills???? Thanks for all your prayers, it meant so much to both of us. How long does it take to feel good? He has a wedding on 5/27- about 1/2hr from our home. Anyone think he'll be able to make an appearance??? I'll get a wheelchair so he can sit and we figure he'll stay from the wedding and cocktail hour. Think it's doable?
