It turns out he had a fairly severe blockage and his heart muscle had deteriorated quite a bit. The doctors determined that surgery was necessary and on Friday he had triple by-pass surgery. They were also supposed to repair a valve, but once they completed the by-pass they determined that the valve was working well enough that a repair was not necessary.
By all accounts the surgery was a success. Now comes the long process of recovery. The thing about Grampy is that he is very strong and hard working. There is no doubt in my mind that his recovery will be quick and complete and he will be with us for the birth of baby number two and long after.
