Date of Surgery...

Dr. called today; he was hoping they could stop Mick's heart by going by angigram through groin area again. After talking to cardio department decision was made that the safest way because of this surgery was to open Mick's chest up. They will stop his heart and put him on by pass. He said normally it's no more than 30 min. although it's been known that 50 min. has taken place before with good results. So, on July 10th Mick will go in to Boone to have his Anuerysms removed; they will begin and when they are ready Mick's heart will be stopped and be put on bypass so they can stop the blood flow to the Anuerysms; they can clip and do what they need to do. He said the surgery will be about 12 hrs. We will see the Cardio Dr. this week and Mick will have tests ran to make sure there are no problems with his heart.All I can say now is prayers are needed double time.Thanks...
