Yesterday morning on schedule our son had a quadruple heart bypass at Fort Worth Medical City. He went in on schedule and came out a couple of hours sooner than expected. We visited him Thursday afternoon. He was awake, sitting up, talking, and lucid. Pain yes. But, hanging in there. He is in a single-room ICU with a devoted ICU nurse tending to his every need. Today he is to start walking and doing breathing exercises. He is progressing well and I am convinced he will be up and at them before we know it.
As a result of our son’s plight, dialysis, while still going on as prescribed, has taken a back seat as it should. Hopefully, by some time next week, we’ll be of a mindset to more deeply relate the ins and outs of my dialysis. At the present time, I’m in automatic.
