Have been in close contact with the family today. Charlie was taken to surgery around 1:45pm and the family was told there would be a 2 to 3 hour preparation time just getting him ready for the major surgery. Total time 5 to 6 hours of surgery. This is what the surgeon said.
He repaired the Mitral and Tricuspid valves and did Ablation for the AFib. Aortic valve leaking a little but not enuf to ever bother him. He did very well. Should be in Recovery in about 2 hrs and we can see him then although he won't be awake yet.
Like to say a big Thanks for all the calls, concerns, and Prayers. Thanks So Much..........Ranger
