dad is fine
surgery went well. six bypasses, no aortic replacement.
as of this time he has the ventilating tube removed, and was conscious. the old bastard must be pretty tough. he was conscious and aware. he knew who he was, where he was, and what had happened.
that is apparently not what usually happens in the first few hours after bypass surgery. we are told there is usually substantial disorientation
all his limbs are functional so there appears to be no stroke.
my brother saw him and talked to him at about 10:30 pm our time - he had just come out of sedation and had the ventilator tube removed
i am happy that things are far better than i had prepared myself to deal with.

son moved out of his mothers last night
he is here full time now
for now - but i expect permanently
more on this tomorrow

I hope your dad continues to improve and that your mom gains some strength and loses some stress.
I am hopeful about the fact that your son has moved out of the house with the STBX. Perhaps being in a structured, predictable environment will help him gain focus in life again. Hang in there!
Cad,
I am just now catching up. I am so glad your dad did well! I am also glad your son is with you!
Please take time to sit back and breathe. Peace and Happy Thanksgiving!
