Update on DS, he was able to come home Sunday pm. very sore, tired and hurts a lot. He told us last night that he say the white light and the pearly gates. The doctor told us he worked with him 2 hours following the surgery, and had to use a heart and lung machine twice and extra strong medicine to keep him alive. I probably won't do much for a while but try to help him & DIL whenever we can. Lots of reading posts. We celebrated DH birthday on the 4th in the ICU unit waiting room. We would not leave there until everything was under control,he was told that he was lucky he was still alive for the surgery. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They really mean a lot to our family.
