Information via my sister is sketchy at best, not having a medical background, she thinks everything will be dandy and that he's happy as a clam resting in ICU. I am more skeptical on all fronts.
So we await word tomorrow morning. I have no idea what time surgery is scheduled.
UPDATE: Nothing new. They didn't do the surgery, I don't know when they'll do the surgery. They moved him to a new CCU (cardiac unit). At the moment I'm not on the information release list so they won't tell me anything if I call (this would be the downside to having all these rules about data privacy). So, it looks like he'll hang out tonight with the nurses. According to my sister he's pretty happy because he's getting happy drugs. Well... why not. If it makes ICU bearable that's what counts.
More as info becomes available. But probably not until tomorrow. So we'll see.

T, my Dad has a pacemaker...knock wood, all should be totally fine, since it is quite routine to implant these things, although the anxiety is quite frustrating for loved ones. I recall I was completely on edge, even though I was assured by pretty much everyone that everything would be OK. And it was. I'll still keep my fingers crossed for him and hope that all goes well, as I've no doubt it will.

Erica is right.100%. Prayers headed your way, your Dad's way, and to those Doctors and the nursing staff who are giving him care and comfort. If I go into an ICU, I want to be near a guy as happy as your Dad! That's more than half the battle, right there.
Ruv you looong time,
JG
