He has 5 blockages. They are gonna do open heart surgery. We will be going down there tomorrow. Surgery is scheduled for Monday but they said if they get him stable enough before then they will go ahead and take him in for it.

His main artery is 95% blocked. Also in his neck, right arm and two others.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I don't know if I'll be able to update anything here until I get home but will try my best.

Have a safe trip Tasha. Vicky is so right in her comment. They can do so much more today than what they could do even in the recent past.

I'll continue to pray for all of you.

You all be careful getting there... hope everything goes well, but be prepared for anything.

We just went through this last month with hubsters Mom, she was considered very high risk, and did wonderful !

Hubster is a nurse on the heart surgery ward, and he has seen miracles, and, good things go bad fast, ya just never know what to expect.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

my dad had open heart surgery (triple bypass) in 1985 back when it wasn't nearly as common and still did well. I know they are much better now days
