DrewsNana is out of surgery and they said everything went great. They mentioned 4 bypasses, but 2 of them may have been in different places on the same artery, so I guess it's still a triple bypass. She is now hooked up to various tubes and a ventilator.
Thank you so much for your prayers. My wife showed this thread to DrewsNana before the surgery and she was very thankful. Please continue to pray for no complications and for a complete recovery. Praise God.
Great news! Prayers will continue. Please keep us updated.
Continuing prayers. Thanks for the update!
God bless her.....they will have her up and walking within the next two days....lots of pain......more to gain. Thanks for the update....
Will do,Thanks for the update,Fatima
Prayers continue
Good News!
Prayers continue. Those tubes are very uncomfortable but needed to drain off all the fluid around the precious heart.
Hurts like crazy. The quicker she can get up and walk the better.
Thank you for sharing the good news.
Prayers continue....
Praise God.
Plus one.
We should remember to praise God for what he does and not just pray for what we want.
Praise God! :*)
Prayers continuing to go up for DrewsNana and family!!
Very good news! Prayers continuing for a complete and quick recovery.
Thank you for the good news update. We continue to pray, for no complications and a complete recovery.
BTTT
Wonderful news. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Good news.
As one having had similar surgery:
- Be patient. Her world is pain now, however well she is taking it.
- Encourage her to use available painkillers (Percocet in particular) regularly. No waiting until it hurts; it’s GOING TO HURT (we’re talking 8 on 1-10 scale) so just keep her system on a consistent dosing of painkillers.
- Encourage her to call the nurses for ANYTHING. Never wait, never think something is “trivial”. If it’s out of the ordinary, it needs attention. Trust me.
- Thank every nurse/doctor/caretaker for every visit. Every single one, every time.
Once home:
- Be wary of painkillers. Pain is a message - listen to it, don’t bury it.
- Don’t overdo it. She will - get her to stop.
- Going to bed will become quietly terrifying: upright or horizontal are OK; transitioning is very painful.
Thanks for the update. Prayers are continuing for Barbara! My procedure lasted 11 hours on Monday, but I was able to come home yesterday afternoon. At least I got some sleep last night. I’m NEVER able to sleep in the hospital.

I will continue to pray for you and your family for God’s graces in getting through this crisis. God bless you and your family.
