Update
My uncle is doing a lot better! They released him from the hospital this past Saturday, but sent him to a rehab center to get stronger before letting him go home. But the rehab center seemed to think he didn't need to be there, he is able to do so much compared to other post-op patients they have. So hopefully he won't be there but a few days.
Lonely
Tonight is the first night my husband and I are spending apart. He had a two-day work meeting to go to 3 hours from home. I am LONELY! :-( And I haven't gotten anything done off my "things to keep busy while G is gone" list, I just don't want to do anything! So, sorry G- the after pic will probably look like the before. ;-)

Recovering
My Uncle is now out of I.C.U., they all seem to be impressed with his progress, he hasn't even asked for any pain medicine since Friday. He has to stay on the cardiac floor 4-5 days, so hopefully he'll get to come home on Thursday or Friday. We are so very thankful for his progress! :-)

Slow Recovery
My uncle is doing better- he is awake and alert (as much as he can be while sedated- he is still sedated because they haven't taken him off the ventilator). They are planning to take him off the ventilator later today. More updates later.

Out of Surgery
My mom called at told me my Uncle made it through the surgery- they ended up only doing triple- bypass (the 4th blockage was in such a small vein they couldn't do anything with it). He's in the I.C.U. and will be on the ventilator until he wakes up some more. Thank GOD he came through the surgery, now the long road to recovery begins...I'm sure we will all be learning lots of new things through this! :-)
