monday 1/28 900 AMHis pain is controlled. He up and showering. Walking well. Dr is coming in this morning, possible he gets discharged today or tomorrow.

1/22 7pm

THURS 7 PM
He is up and walking a little bit. He is mostly sleeping, not much visiting. They pretty much have his pain controled. Color looks good. He will have an Ultrasound of heart (not sure if today) to see how the heart is looking
so they can determine whether he needs to continue blood thinners. He has chest tube draining his chest, they will hopefully remove soon.
They originally said he would recover a week and go home, this is day 2..he has to follow what they want him to do and he will make that deadline.

He is out of surgery. Doctor says that the heart looks strong. Right now they are weaning him off the ventilator.
He is sedated. He is awake and is answering questions (by nodding)His color looks REALLY REALLY good.
As they wean him they need to make sure the heart continues on the current path with no bleeding.
They hope to have him off the ventilator by 10-11 PM tonight. normal brain function is now our question... He is not
out of the woods yet...but we have jumped the biggest hurdle
