It was with great surprise that we received a phone call at 11am this morning informing us that the hospital was going to proceed with the bypass operation. This wasn’t due to a medical emergency but because Frank’s blood enzyme levels have returned to normal and they didn’t see the point of waiting any longer.
Unfortunately, with the hospital being 40 miles away we weren’t able to get to see him before they started surgery. However, speaking to the doctors directly after the operation it seemed to go well.
We have had further communication with the medical team, four hours after surgery, and he appears to be doing well. There are no complications or causes for concern and he is sleeping off the affects of the anesthetic.
He is due to be kept in a sterile intensive care unit for the next 48 hours. This is a strictly controlled environment so we wont be able to see him until he’s moved to a regular ward. All being well this should happen on Saturday. So tomorrow is a ‘day off’ from hospital visiting although we will be speaking with the medical team throughout the day and arranging our hotel move to be closer to him.
