@mismi,
((((((((crew)))))))))
yep Mis, I iz all fingers and thumbs right now.
OK. Plan A - B - C'ish
hmmmmm...
Danny had one bypass and the valve replaced. (MrsBEAgle believes it is the one bypass - but... perhaps if the surgeon weren't quite so curt with her <and believe me, she's a strong lady and not one to be curt with...but his bedside manner was not the best after the op>... perhaps we will get more info re: 1 or 2 bypass)
Danny is under very heavy sedation after a 5.5hr operation. Unfortunately, the blood is not oxygenating and he had to receive a blood transfusion last night (possibly more, not known yet), his blood pressure is not good at the mo.
Of course, with the sedation, he is unaware of what's going on - but Anna has seen him and the nurses have assured her that they will keep telling him that she has been there with him.
He's in intensive care and will remain there for a while - they will be running tests today to try and find out why the blood is not oxygenating.
Of course, this is a great worry... but Danny is strong in his will... and he's got through this operation. I realise that the mind cannot always heal the body...but fer suuure, his mind wanted to get well and better. We're very much hope that they will work out what's going on and rectify it.
Anna has spoken to the hospital thismorning (a very nice nurse who was reassuring) and she will go visit with the Cosmic Eagle this afternoon. He's unlikely to be brought around from the sedation until they find out more fully what is happening - so it may be a few days before we can find out where the problem is.
Anna is in washing and cleaning mode - ha, it's a girl thang!!!!
She's had someone stay a little while last night and folk who will check on her and thankfully, family will be coming down at the weekend so she will have lots of distractions during these next critical few days. She's not able to spend much time with him in ICU and the heavy sedation is the best thing for him right now - but she does need to be taking care of herself and to get her strength up for when he comes home. I've asked her to go and pamper herself a bit... and I'm sure that their DIL and G-kids will help her through the next week. The uncertainty is the worst thing, as most of us have had experience with in whichever form.
If you all can keep those positive thoughts going, prayers and healing wishes... I do believe that in some part of
his heart he will know they are forthcoming.
Both Danny and Anna come from good stock. Their hearts and minds are true and I know Danny will be fighting, as much as he's able to, to recover.
Will call Anna again on Friday morning and will keep you all posted. Please ((FS)), please don't feel you can't talk out loud if you speak to Anna, it's about Danny... and that's all that's important.
Anna and I did have a fair bit of laughter as we spoke - she's great, really, we were talking about how he's going to try and get her to bring in puddings and sweets into the hospital again and that when he's home he'll be sure to take advantage
... but she 'aint gonna let him - we did laugh!
Again, I know you're doing it already, and thank you on behalf of Danny and Anna because they know y'all are thinking about them and care about them... keep the wishes, in whatever way you may do that, to send healing beats to our Bosun.
Thanku crew - you do all make such a difference, even if you don't think you do... you really do. x
G'nite from the UK, Good Morning Down Under and Good Afternoon to our North Americans and beyond.
