Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Sounds like a blessing he's in a coma & not feeling any of it. Best for him this way no doubt for a while at least. I will keep him in my prayers with a candle burning for his full healing intention. Bless you & your family going thru this too. Caroline Re: OT / Sandy Kenny's surgery didn't go as well as planned. He was to have a triple bypass, but they were only able to do 2. When they tried to take him off the heart/bypass pump, his heart wouldn't beat like it should have. They inserted what they call a balloon pump, into the artery (similar to an angioplasty) where it's still at, to make his heart beat at the right pace. He's still got the tube down into his lungs to help him breathe. He's like in a drug induced coma, so he's aware of nothing. No pain, no knowledge of what is going on. His hands are still swollen as the rest of him is, the hands about 1 1/2 size larger than normal. Apparently his kidney's are emptying out the liquids he's getting in the iv's so that also concerns me. thanks for the well wishes. It's just a wait and see game now.
