the first surgery was 14 hours long and 3 and half hours later they went back in for another 3 hours to remove a blood clot that was preventing his heart from beating. he was critical for 2 days, but hes in step down icu, walking, and doing great as of now!

thank god, thank dr miller and his whole team, thank stanford, and thank you guys for the support.

Glad to hear he is doing so good now!! I think Stanford is the best hospital to be at too. The Drs and Staff are a God sent. Keep us up dated on how he's doing and I pray for a great recovery. You get some needed rest too!!

I'm sorry he had complications. I'm glad that he's better now and i hope and pray that from now on his recovery will be easy and that he will be home soon.
Best wishes, Dawn-Marie

Glad to hear that's another one of our gang over the mountain. I also had a extra surgery and then spent 5 days in ICU in a drug induced coma. I hope all goes well now and he has a smooth recovery.
Go get some rest now while he is resting comfortably and has the undivided attention of ICU nurses and Docs.

 

[Cooker]

Sometimes the road can be bumpy ... glad he is over the top and I hope he can now cruise smoothly to full recovery

 

[fscizzy]

Sounds like he's doing better, progress is always nice.

What a scary road you must have been on!

Thank God that your hubby is now on his way to recovering & hopefully he'll start feeling better & better every day!

Best wishes!

As of right now Jon is still in Stanford, his 8th day. They did an ECHO today and hopefully will have a CT SOON! He has been on a clear liquid diet for over 24 hours and is getting GRUUUMPY without food!


He will most likely go home tomorrow, as long as the CT comes back ok.

I will post all the details in the next few days, once he is home and settled in.

Thank you for the well wishes, I have passed them on to him in the hospital.

Praying that the worse is over and that he will be home soon. Make sure you get some rest as well.
