Just a brief note as I just returned from the hospital, it's 9:45pm, and I'm tired. I apologize in advance as I left my notes in Bob's room and I'm not sure where spell check is on this site.
As I said, please keep the prayers coming as Bob had a very irregular heartbeat this am, though they say that 1 in 4 patients in his category do, but now he is on 2 more medications.
This evening he developed a fever of 101 so now they are doing cultures.
Bob is not a happy camper, and it has nothing to do with football, the "space" that he occupies in the hospital is small, dreary, and EXTREMELY noisy. He is on a list for other accomadations but the nurses aren't optimistic about the change.
Bob did take a spin in the halls 4 times today which was good.
The surgeon had originally said 5-7 days in the hospital and I originally was optimistic that our stubborn Bob would be out after 5 days but now I even hoping for 7, maybe it's just been a long couple of days.
Thanks everybody.

Mom sends her Love - lots and lots, and says she knows all the prayers have helped. It's wonderful to hear all the progress being made every day. I'm proud of you for working so hard to get better as fast as possible. It's unbelievable how fast they progress patients these days. I was telling my nurse friend who worked in the cardiac unit at one time. She said they used to keep a patient on a ventilator for 3 days post-op 10 years ago and how she saw it go from 3-4 days to just out of surgery, within a period of 8years. Hope you continue to improve fast.
Love, Bertsy
