Dad’s still in surgery. Mom, Jane-o, Harold, Ashleigh and I all went for a bike ride. We rode about 20 miles from Meagan’s house where we are staying to my Aunt Sharron’s house (she wasn’t home, but we didn’t really have time to visit anyway), and back to Meagan’s house.
As we got back to the house, we got a phone call from the folks at UW Medical Center. They said the surgery is going well, and they’re reconnecting his heart and warming him (and his heart) back up. Apparently, the surgery is done with low body temperatures and with the heart itself on ice to slow its use of nutrients and preserve the heart muscle as much as possible. The warming of the heart indicates that much of the work is done, and he’s being reassembled (for lack of a better term).
In a few hours, we’ll head back to the hospital and stay in the waiting room until they call for us. When they call for us, they’ll either give us more info or let us see him. When that happens, I’ll write more.
Great news! Exhale!
Yes indeed, great news! Now, wonder how he’ll report this out-of-body experience .. or is it vice versa?
Good to hear he was only cold hearted for a short time!
Hope his funnny bone is incorporated back in the right spot!
We are thinking of Mike and the rest of the Kalahar crew at day’s end. It’s over, thank God. Now looking forward to tomorrow…..

Great to see the photos and the Great smile.
Awaiting your welcome return with breathing!
