Slim had a lot of visits today from various departments and physicians. Reviewing medical history answering questions etc. Mainly getting all the prep work done prior to his surgery tomorrow morning.
We understand that they will start surgery between 7:30 am and 8:00 am. The surgery will last for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. The physician indicated that we should get an update on his status about once an hour. Even after the surgery. He will need to be in the PACU or OR recovery room for around another hour. Then he should be transferred back to the ICU. We probably won't actually be able to seem him until later in the afternoon.
Braden, Uncle Randy and myself were able to give Slim a blessing tonight. I beleive Slim felt comforted by this and it seemed to help ease some nervousness about the surgery. Not that Slim would mention that he is nervous. But since this is the first major surgery Slim has had in his 70 years. It stands to be expected that you can be a little nervous...... Its certainly not one of those things you want to have on your bucket list.
Will update the surgery status as soon as we able.
