Peg and Lazarus

Another email from Peg Sunday afternoon. They are having a quiet Sunday but did talk again with the docs. They will probably do the leg vein study tomorrow and then try to make some sort of decision. The doc seemed to indicate that they are kind of leaning toward by-pass although still several factors and tests that would have to be considered. He also said it won't happen before the cardiac surgeons are ready for it to happen. Larry is feeling stronger and improving every day. His throat doesn't hurt so he is talking better and eating better at each meal.

The doc also mentioned that his nickname is now Lazarus!! Certainly understand the reference, but I thought it interesting that there actually is a name for what he went through and it is called the Lazarus phenomenon -

The Lazarus phenomenon refers to an event in which a person spontaneously returns to life (the heart starts beating again) after resuscitation has been given up.

Peg says he isn't reading your comments yet, but she is telling him about them and that he will enjoy reading over them when he feels up to it. He is grateful for everyone's concern and so are we!
