Yesterday he had surgery. It was a shock. I found out that he was going to have surgery on Wednesday at 3:30.
He had surgery yesterday at 10:41. He was out by 3.
He had a bi-pass surgery done, where Doc Hawk provided another route for the food to pass through to his stomach. He repaired that massive hernia as well. The aneurysm needed to be avoided, so there was no way to correct that, but it is coiled off, and the swelling should go down, and that area should be fine.
Surgery went well. He was given 3 units of blood, due to all the scar tissue that they needed to cut through. He has a feeding tube in his belly that they are going to have nutrition sent through to give him a boost with his weight. He has the surgical drain, and his billiary drain. He is still in critical care, but will move to ICU tomorrow.
There was a spot on his bowel that Doc sent off for biopsy. Trying not to worry about that one. One step at a time!
Doc Hawk even gave Dave a tummy tuck!! That’s right…no more belly!! Dave say yesterday…”Break out the speedo!” LOL He still has that sence of humor!!
