My brother is in the operating room right now having an emergency heart bypass. He has a 20% chance of survival. Keep your fingers crossed for him.
Thanks for your good thoughts

Thanks to all of you for the kind words, prayers, and hugs. He made it through the surgery-- the surgeon said the next 72 hours would be critical but they think he'll survive. Again, thank you.

My brother went back to the operating room this morning for another surgery to control the bleeding. He made it through that but the dr. said his liver and kidneys are contributing to the continuous bleeding he's having. If he doesn't start clotting, there's not a whole lot more that can be done. So he's not out of the woods yet. Please keep good thoughts for him.
Thanks so much.
