The team is preparing me for discharge. looking forward to getting home. i'll be on a short leash for the time being, so shoot me a txt if you want to hang out sometime. thanks for checking in on me here!
Hey it's quickly approaching go-time. quick deets Mitral valve repair/replace + MAZE + new pacemaker + 3rd lead for left ventricle + whatever else he's upset with in there. Same hospital and team as last time, Lucille Packard Childrens's Hospital, Dr Hanley Surgery starts tomorrow 4/29 at 0700 and will continue all day.
Adam is slowly waking up and is glad to hear things went so well. He is pretty heavily sedated but has been able to write a few short messages on a notepad. He'll likely be able to look at his phone later today so feel free to text well wishes to him. If things go like last time he will probably remain in the ICU for several days and then graduate to the Patient Care Unit ( PCU ) for several days. Too early for visits now, but we'll share info on how to swing by as things progress.
Breathing tube is out and several vestigial IV ports have been removed. Adam has an oxygen mask proving some positive air pressure but he can communicate more easily. He is not ready to talk on the phone and hasn't really even looked at any messages yet. He has been asking about when he can stand up and start walking around. They are slowing reducing the pain management. All good signs. I will plan to post again end of day.
