Gentlemen:

Thank you very much for your kind comments about my Dad. I know he
appreciates
them as well. Here's the update:

He had a quadruple coronary bypass with an aortic valve repair yesterday.
As of
this evening, he is completely back to his usual self; he was extubated
yesterday (from the vent); the NG tube and one of the arterial lines are
out.
He still has chest tubes and a Foley catheter, as well as a radial
arterial
line, and lest I forget... a Swan-Ganz cath that will probably come out
tomorrow. In fact, he'll probably lose half of that stuff tomorrow.

This has gone better than I could have hoped. Looks like he'll be home in
a few
days to begin his real recovery.

Anyway, I printed out all the stuff you guys have posted and I'm going to
take
it to him tomorrow, now that I know he can appreciate it. I know he'll
get a
bang out of them.

Film at 11....
