A Quadruple Bypass!

Sorry for the delay in updating the blog. The military hospital didn't have an internet connection that I could use and the internet was down were I was staying.

Papi went into the hospital on Monday 12/10 and had the surgery on 12/11. He was in the operating room from about 6:30am until almost 5pm. The only issue that the doctors had was stopping the bleeding once the surgery was complete. He is now out of ICU and in a private room. You can reach him on his cell phone or call the nurse's station at (706) 787-9225. You will need a password to find out anything about him. The word is "Christmas" (I thought I would make it easy for everyone to remember.)

He does have a direct phone line to the room but I don't know what it is since I didn't write it down. He's in room 1105-A at Eisenhower hospital in Fort Gordon. Dr. Cooper, his surgeon, said if everything continues to go well he will be released on Monday 12/17.

I know he will enjoy hearing from everyone so don't hesitate to call.
