TomH Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Whew! Just got home from the hospital. Doc did the bypass today and he said it went fantastic. He has a really strong heart and he didnt even have to stop his heart and put him on the heart lung machine. Doc was really pleased with how well it went. Hes going to be out for 24hrs so we all can get some rest. Said he is good for another 100,000 miles. I REALLY want to thank all of you guys for your prayers, thoughts, pos. vibes and everything youve done. I mean it from the bottom of my heart....you dont know how much it means to have people praying and thinking about you when your going through something like this. I thank you all very much.I know dad will be on next week sometime and will post also. Thanks again for everything!!!!I was planning on going out detecting today and dad said I should go anyway that this was not that big of a deal......yah...right!
