Heart Bypass Day


Dad arrived at the hospital at 6am. His arms, legs and chest where shaved, and he took another shower. They connected him up to an IV and gave him some medication. We were able to have a time of prayer together, and chat and laugh about things. Dad was very upbeat and positive, and kept reassuring us that he was fine. At 1pm we all went down to the holding area where we met Dr. Pohl, the anesthesiologist and the nurse. We gave dad a hug and a kiss and they took him away.

After lunch we got an update from the medical team letting us know that they have found the veins that they will be using for the bypass surgery.
