Chris's dad had his aortic valve replaced today - so scary.
We knew it was coming eventually...but not within a week of his last doctor's appointment. Whatever leak that was there was worse than anticipated and he has not been feeling well at all. I am at work, but C has been at the hospital all day with Elaine and Tim and apparently everything went well. It was far too recently that I went through this with Dad after his heart attack, and that was 'only' a triple bypass surgery, not a valve replacement. And this is his second one! I can only imagine how nervous and anxious they have all been all day, and I hope they get to see him in the ICU soon - even though he'll be knocked out & all hooked up to tubes and stuff, at least they can see him.
But at least it's over, he's out of surgery and can begin the long, painful, tiring healing process.
