I had my 5 bypasses done 4 years ago. I recommend he goes on a mood
pill, they put me on Effexor. It calms down the nerves & the worry
allowing you to be calm for the surgeons. Yes I was on a vent, I think
everyone is
with open heart by pass surgery.
This is a safe surgery now days. Back when my grandmother had hers
about 50 years ago it was still a risky surgery. But now days it's an
easy surgery. Tell him to listen to his docs and do all they say.
They did my dad's open heart surgery about 15 years ago, he came through
it like a breeze.
I prayed for the surgeons to do a perfect job for all of us and they
did. Now I'll pray for them to do a perfect job for your husband.

and good thought...my nephew’s wife is a nurse...she said they will
probably do a bypass. I’ve never had to deal with anything like this
before. Dave seems pretty calm but I talked to him on the phone a
while ago and I think he was upset. Got home from the hospital late
tonight...my one son and one daughter stopped by...as well as my
sister...we were all at the hospital...they just left...I’m gonn feed
my cats their canned food...do their dishes and go to bed...I have to
be up by 6 to be back at the hospital at 7. One question...my Aunt
said the EVERYONE who has heart surgery goes on a vent....does anyone
know if that’s true? That really scares me.
