Another day, another open chest surgery. In case you've lost count, this is number four in three weeks (and number three in the past week). He came back after a couple hours and is stable...intubated...sedated...and not bleeding.
Starting tomorrow, we'll need to restrategize and it will probably involve not running Heparin and monitoring his Berlin Heart extremely closely for clots. Changing out a pump from time to time is preferable to cracking Eddie's chest over and over again.
We're all very tired but grateful he's back in our hands.
So Happy that he's back, so sorry that he is going through all this! I look and I have one zipper, I see him with more and I feel for him, much more than most can feel. WE LOVE YOU ALL< I will have to look at this again in the morning and send special thanks. I am reminded of Elder Richards talk

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that Eddie had to have yet another surgery. I'm sending my love and hugs to all of you. This sounds so hard. You guys are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot imagine the strength it must take each time Eddie goes back into surgery. We wish we could somehow lift some and carry it for you. We pray for all of you morning and night. We love you. The Weavers
