Carrie and Addie did finally make it to Boston and are keeping Peg company. They had much better luck the second day and didn't have to fly in storms or worry about getting in at 4am.
When Larry was first getting around this morning, his heart went out of normal rhythm and his device fired twice. It didn't seem to be too alarming to the staff and we have since read that arrhythmias are actually not uncommon in the first few days after by-pass. However, it did shake us up a little and bothered Larry. We've also since learned that he wasn't on any arrhythmia meds but is now. Later in the day when he got up to sit in a chair, the heart did a little something but not enough to set off the device.
The doctors have said that his heart has been through a lot and is still going through a lot getting stabilized with the new blood supply. They still think he's moving in the right direction. Peg mentioned that they expect some hiccups and are just really thankful that it happened while he is there. We'll continue to take one day at a time and remain in awe of how well Larry has done after everything he has gone through.

Larry: I am so thankful things are continuing at a good pace & the Drs. are pleased so far. Keep doing what you are supposed to, this will be the biggest challenge so far, but you can do it. Peg, I am so relieved you have Carrie & Addie there with you. Thinking of you all the time, Cheryl
