Hi Hunter!
I'm happy to report my dear old dad, Wilbur, successfully received a total of five bypasses during his scheduled open heart surgery this morning. It was scheduled for a triple bypass, but they ended up doing five.
Spoiler...
He's doing great.
All glory, thanks, and praise go to God for his obvious hand in this situation.
The surgery was on Monday, he left ICU for his own room yesterday, and his cardio physical therapist said the fact he was able to walk to laps around the halls was "exceptional" for anyone this close to the surgery, must less someone of his age.
We could be taking him home late tomorrow or Saturday.
Thanks again for checking on him, and if he continues on this trajectory, he'll be providing the next update his self.
God is good!
Elmer
