Char, I'm glad to hear DBF's Uncle made it through surgery and hope his body doesn't reject the pump. I also hope that you start to feel better soon. I'm sure all this stress is not helping.

Default Update
Well, the information that we got the other day was sorta wrong.... he did make it through the surgery fine (which is good) but they did not put in the heart pump they put in a tube to his heart and are pumping medication into his heart directly. He has a portable pump he is taking home today. His body was to weak and they did not even try the heart pump.

I am feeling better - thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them up.....

Thanks for the update, Char, I have been wondering. I hope this new approach will help him heal and grow stronger.

Thanks for the update Char. I too was very worried about you and the surgery outcome (don't do that again, huh!)

Glad you are feeling better and hope Uncle Alan continues to gain his strength back.

I hope Uncle Alan is getting stronger - we have to put our faith in the doctors and that they know what is best. Hopefully he will get stronger each day - I'm keeping him and you and your whole family in my prayers.

Thanks for updating Char. Sorry the surgery didn't go as planned but it's probably best.

I hope you feel better soon.
