If you've been following, you know how slowly things have been moving. Lots of tests, lots of waiting for results, mulling over those results, conferring between different doctors and teams, and always qualifying about who has the final say.... Around mid-day we heard that the surgeon was going to gather all the results up and be trying to figure out how to move forward. I, for one, figured it would be at least another day. About a half hour later we heard that Larry will be having a by-pass tomorrow morning!!
When they decide, things move quickly. He was to be moved back to CCU today and readied for surgery. They were putting the heart-assist pump back in. Peg said that when the CCU nurses (who have been so good to Larry and are the ones that gave him the hat and video taped him) got a notice that he was coming back to CCU, they came running to his room to see what was going on! We are all relieved that he is not going back to CCU for a bad reason but for prep for a by-pass.
Please keep Larry in your thoughts tomorrow. We are all very excited that they believe this could help him, and that they are able to do it. We don't know the time yet but will be posting updates as we have them. They told Peg to expect around 6 hours for the procedure.
