26 April 1994

4:30a arise -
5:30a With Father - pre-op given we had prayer and I read the scriptures to him til he slept
7:15a OR nurse came for Bob -
10:25a Dr [P]fizer came out to talk to us and tell us Bob had a triple by-pass and did well and was being moved to CVICU
10:45a We all went into CVICU to see Bob - he was on a ventilator with tubes from everywhere - IV's blood (his own thank heavens) The nurse explained everything
in deep sleep
12:45p Fifteen minutes to visit - he is still very sedated - still on a ventilator - opened eyes and made facial gestures which I failed to understand.  Nurse says he's doing well.
opens eyes
5:00p Bob responsive and breathing on his own.  They remove the respirator and gastric tube - he sounds like Donald Duck and is telling jokes.  Lynn crying in relief.
8:30p Bob looking good and glad to see us.  We take turns seeing him and at 9pm finally tuck him in for the night. Lynn crying in relief.

Ken is feeling grungy!

Note: to date we have had phone calls from friends and family
