Today we showed up at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital at 5:45 a.m. 12 hours later we got the GREAT news that Dad's heart valve REPAIR was a huge success! The surgery took a little longer than we anticipated, but dad did not lose a lot of blood (he did not need a blood transfusion), and there were no complications. They did not have to put a new valve in, the repair seemed to hold. :-)
In just a few hours we will get to see dad!!
I will keep the blog updated on dad's recovery.
We have started this blog to document the daily progress for Clarence McEldowney's recovery from cardiac arrest and anoxic brain injury.
