Finished with Surgery

The surgeons finished up about an hour ago (3:00pm ET). They did a total of 4 by-passes and are hopeful that the by-passes will increase the blood flow sufficiently to reduce the likelihood of future arrhythmias and potentially increase the productivity of his heart. We are thankful for their skills and that Larry came through the surgery well. Larry is going to be moved to the ICU after surgery and we have been told that he will probably remain sedated until tomorrow.

As soon as we have more information, we will get it posted.

  1. I am so glad the surgery is over, have had the blog on several times today. I am so proud of both Larry and Peg. Now we pray that everything will be better. Thanks also to
    Curt and Nancy for having this available to all of us.

  2. I second what Aunt Helen said - Cheryl had called to see if surgery was over and I looked at blog and got the up-to-date info. So glad the surgery went well - we'll keep the prayers going! Take care, Larry & Peg!

    Love, Jeri & Ron & Aunt Eloise

    We're having a thunderstorm right now - it has been very very humid the last couple of days!!
