Yesterday, dad's angiogram showed three blocked arteries and a leaky aortic valve. So, they decided to do open heart surgery ASAP. They wanted to do a triple bypass with aortic valve replacement. Then while they were there, they discovered a severely damaged mitral valve. They repaired that, too.
She's in the ICU (Liz, my dad is transgendered). Today, the EKG results were not "good" or as good as they wanted, so they planned to do an echogram. Still no word yet.
I ended up going to Vegas as planned - there are plenty of people around to help my mom and I needed a mental health break. Dad said it was okay for me to go.
Enjoyed Red Rock Canyon very much! We'll see Zumanity this evening.
I'll keep you all posted on my dad.

Hi Dee,
I hope that your Dad does well and gets home soon. Have a great time on your trip and get some relaxation. You have had so many things to deal with lately.

P.S. Sorry your dad is going through this current health challenge. Best wishes!
Hi Joanna and Jill, not sure when dad will be able to come home, but she made some progress today and got up to walk. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for dad.
Thanks, Becky. I will check out that website. Tame care!
