I am thankful for your prayers and a Great God who answers them. DrewsNana's surgery lasted about 2 1/2 hours and they only needed one vein from her leg. She woke up yesterday afternoon about 2PM and could respond by squeezing their hand. It was difficult for her husband to watch while they pulled the ventilator and other tube out of her throat around 5PM. After that she could talk but was still in quite a bit of pain. All her vital signs were great.
This morning she was sitting in a recliner and eating orange jello. She was a bit grouchy though. The cardiologist checked on her and told her she was beautiful, and she told him he was full of it. Then the surgeon stopped by and removed the drainage tubes. She had a little bit of nausea, so we blamed it on the color of the jello. Orange is not well-liked in this family.
This evening, they brought her some real food - roast, roasted potatos, and cooked carrots. They are waiting for a room to open up in the cardiac unit so they can move her there. All vital signs are "textbook". I'm not sure a triple bypass goes much smoother than this.
We really appreciate your prayers and advice. They mean a lot to us.
Prayers continue
So pleased to hear she’s being irascible! ;o)
