Well, I'm at the hospital waiting for my mom to have open heart surgery- It should take about 2-2.5 hours.
She has to have by-pass could possibly be a 5 way, I hope not, but don't know yet. She will be here for a week
good luck.  Hope the surgery goes well!!  
Hang in there Rik, hope everything goes well...
Thankx,so far so good. all went well with the surgery-looks like they will try to pull the tube out tonight or Tues. morning
She should get her own room tomarow sometime.
Awesome; I'm glad she got through everything ok brother.  The hardest part is over, save respiratory therapy.  That's more of a pain in the ass than anything (for her).  Having to do the breathing stuff while everything is tender sucks (from what I've heard from people who've went through it).
Rik, good news so far!  Our thoughts and prayers are with her!!!  
Thanx guys,I'm sure it is all going to be fine,she is a fighter-  I will probibly head back to Akron in the morning (Wed.)

My mom went through that at 75 years old and she lasted to 85. So there is good hope for your mom.
She lasted to 85..... ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, that was funny. :)
Hope she comes out ok Rik. My liver is going to bungee jump from my body long before 85....or even 75. So kudos to them :)
