Out of Surgery!

As of about 8pm your time my dad got out of surgery and is good! It will be a long recovery, but there were no complications, and everything went as expected! They did a double bypass, so they took one vein from his chest and one from his left leg. He's still intubated (on a breathing tube), but that should be out in a few hours. I guess recovery is going to be very painful, but the more he moves around and whatnot, the quicker he will heal. He's also got a sheath? in his right leg, and has been on his back since Monday when he had his heart catherterization, but that should come out soon, too, I think.

He'll be in the hospital for another 5-ish days, and then home with 4-6 weeks of just resting, not working.

Wuhoo! Thanks for the prayers!
