Thanks everyone. I can't describe in words how much your support means.

He is doing a little better. Today they took out the baloon pump that was pumping the heart artificially. He is now pumping on his own (with couple of low dose heart medicine and an external pacemaker if something needed correction). His body is pretty swelled up but the surgeon told us it's normal after big heart surgery and it'll take at least 7 days to go back to normal. He is still intubated (artificial breating machine aka VENTILATOR) but at least his vitals and stats are showing progress.

We just have to wait and see how he does.

thanks.

Thanks Ak for the latest, Will keep the prayers going here for as long it takes.

Awesome....glad to hear things are going in a positive way for your dad! :tup:

Glad to hear positive updates.

good to hear progress is being made, its not easy but im sure you and your family, along with your dad will make it through this.

Best wishes, and it is good to know he's getting better.

Fantastic news AK, the road to a full recovery is long, and it may not seem like much progress is being made, but as they pull him off of the assistance machines and he's goin for himself it will make it alot easier for you. The best part is that there were no complications from the surgery itself. Thats very good!

Hope he gets better soon.

Don't worry, your dad will be feeling better in no time. Glad to hear the good news!

Glad to hear your dad is doing well.

That's great news, AK. As long as your Dad keeps doing this . . .
