Last update on my boyfriend's father

We have finally convinced the stubborn old man to have the triple bypass surgery. He is not happy but at least he will take care of himself now. I will keep this thread updated on his surgery and progress.

Way to go ! Best wishes....:gj:

hoping for the best. I dont really think anyone is happy about having heart surgery, its scary to have someone poking around in your chest.

Yay! Congrats

Congrats!!! I'll keep sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!!

That's great news! I'm sure he's going to be operated on by the best of surgeons. Best of luck, I'll continue to cross my fingers. :)

Just a quick update on my boyfriend's father. His surgery has been postponed until Monday. His kidney function is not at a desirable level and they want to address that before his surgery. They also did a test to tell which parts of his heart are actually viable at this point. Everything is looking good for his surgery on Monday. He is in good spirits and just wants it over with so he can come home. I will update here again on Monday after his surgery.

I hope all goes well. We are hoping for a good out come! Tanya and Alex!

Fingers crossed, man!

Well, it's obvious he's in good hands. Glad that he wants to go through with the operation. Best of luck. :)

My boyfriend's father made it through his surgery. He had a few minor complications but he is responding to basic commands and yes or no questions. He has a breathing tube in right now to aid his breathing but it may come out soon if he is able to breathe without issues. Thank you to all of you that have followed this thread. Your warm comments and compassion is greatly appreciated.

Good to hear, I wish him a speedy recovery.

Hope he gets back into tip top shape soon!:gj::gj:

hope he gets well soon. Its a bit of a rocky road for a week or two after but then its back to normal. Dont let him skimp on the rehab. These stubborn gentlemen tend to think they dont need it., especially that thing they blow into to improve lung function.

You are so correct. He is hooked up to all kinds of tubes and his breathing is horrible so they have him hooked up to a bipap machine. It took everything I had not to stand there and cry seeing him like this. The nurse said he is in for a long hard recovery. He seems to understand all of this and is taking it very well.
