Dad was taken into surgery at 6:00 am. They will do the heart valve replacement first followed by the liver transplant. The total time will be 12-15 hours. We are supposed to hear from the cardiac team when they are finished. He should be in ICU for 3-4 days after surgery and they will keep him fairly heavily sedated during that time.
Bill arrived last night and Amanda will be flying up today. We got to spend some time with Dad last night and this morning before surgery. He was being his usual goofy self - teasing nurses and even the liver surgeon! He went into surgery with a great attitude and a joke to the anesthesiologist.
We will keep you all updated as we are updated. Thanks so much for the prayers!
