First off he is going to be fine.
I need to stick around the house to help Mom and Dad when he gets released so I can't make the show this weekend.
Here's the deal,
About a month ago he failed a stress test and they sent him to the hospital. Once there they found out that he about 98% blockage to one of the small vains on the bottom of his heart. They tried to clear it but couldn't. They found that he had a minor heart attach and that the vain was blocked with scar tissue. At that point they told him a bypass was a good idea but it was elective surgery. After a consult with the doctors they deceided that he was going to get it done. They told him to do it just before Christmas but that wasn't going to happen. They set it up for the first of the year. Well Yesturday he had chest pains that went into his arm. Mom took him to the hospital where we sat for over three hours until they could get a hold of his doctor. Once that happened he told them to transfer him to the cardic hospital ASAP. Today they did open heart surgery and did the bypass. After about 3 1/2 hours in surgery they came out and got us. My Dad came through it fine and is expected to make a full recovery.
We were very suprised to find out that after all this today that tomorrow they will start getting them out of bed right away. They also said that he should be home no later then Saturday. (that is why I can't make the show) I need to be here to help get him home. He is going to be slow moving for a while but he should be fine.
So guys going to the show take plenty of pics for me and have a good time.
