I'm gonna relay this to to Daddy---other people have told him the recovery isn't fun but that once you get your feet back under you that you realize how bad you felt and didn't even know it because you feel so much better. His will be a pig valve; he said no more bacon cause he'd be eating kinfolk 
He will be 74 in December, and that's not "old" to me anymore. The doctor told us he has a 95% chance of a much longer life with surgery vs 0% without the surgery. Daddy has NO other medical issues, so we feel like this is a no brainer as far as having the surgery. I hope your daddy continues to feel better and better! |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Chandler's Mom - 2017-06-12 8:44 PM jake16 - 2017-06-12 8:02 PM Well.Chandlers mom is the first one to jump in and say a prayer if you need it.so maybe we can post a few for her and just pray she's on a vacation and forgot to tell us.Many prayers that you are ok and your family is as well.Thinking of you and praying all is well my friend:) I'm just gonna say that I got chill bumps when i saw that folks were checking on me. . . Miss Roxie sent me an email and said I had some folks worrying about me; I had planned to try to check in tonight any way and so that got me in gear. We've been having a nightmare with an employee that Chandler had to let go a week ago---theft, threats, accusations that we stole a relative's ashes, law enforcement---you name it. So between being behind at work, all that (plus he's got some sick fish ), and gearing up (again!! ) for Daddy's surgery, well, I let myself get behind on my BHW friends. We will head to LR Wednesday for pre-op, then God willing surgery is scheduled for 7:30 Thursday morning. I appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts and those of you that cared enough to keep checking in on this thread. I pray God's blessings on each of you for that 
Well there you are WOMAN, you had us all worried, lol I was trying to get a posse together and hunt for you I even made a thread for you, lol... I am so glad that you and family is A-OK,   |

Location: Arkansas | Daddy went back at 8 for surgery. He was very nervous, and of course my momma started to cry when we walked out of his cubicle----I wanted to also but I felt like I needed to hold it together for her and Chandler. He has a great surgeon/hospital and he's overall very healthy. I put him in God's hands, and everyone is praying for him. I guess I'm just touching base with my buddies on here for support. I feel like a baby rather than a grown woman----but I'm a daddy's girl and scared. And I knew y'all would understand. . . . |

Location: Arkansas | Daddy got out of surgery at 11:45. They replaced the valve and repaired the aorta. They were going to start taking him off the respirator at 3. So we need prayers please for him to start breathing on his own and waking up. . . . . |

Many continued prayers
Daddy has his breathing tube out and is doing good. We will hopefully be able to see him in about 20 minutes.
Answered prayers; our God is good and He does have this!!
Thank you each one for your prayers and good thoughts. They mean the world to my family. |

Location: ND--it snows, it floods, it snows, it floods | I'm so glad to read that he is on the road to recovery!!!! Just be prepared. We saw my dad while he was on the respirator and that was hard. We only got to see him for a bit before we headed back to the hotel because of how late it ended up being.
Did they do the pig valve or the beef valve? They were planning on the pig valve for my dad but ended up with the beef valve due to sizing. Like I said earlier he was off blood thinners 3 months after surgery so that's a good thing.
We didn't spend alot of time with dad in the hopsital at first because he was in quite a bit of pain and he couldn't hear us anyways because he didn't have his hearing aides in. He didn't really want us around to be honest so we hung out in the waiting room.
Now tell him to follow orders and all will be good. God is GREAT!!!!
