Again, I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers for Stu.
This is what happened today. The heart surgery went well, however when he got into ICU he coded and they had to do compressions and paddles. Very blessed because both surgeons were in the cardiac unit checking on other patiets when it happened. Sometimes the body does crazy stuff. They removed the breathing tube yesterday and had tried 5 breathing items for him. This moring his temp was 105 and as the day wore on it got to 100.8. At 4:30 this afternoon it jumped to 104 and back into A-FIB. He has an infection and they are testing everything, and without all the tests coming back believe it's pneumonia and are treating him for it. By 5:05, I didn't think they could fit so many people into that room, with the surgeon and assistance surgeon and another Dr. they sedated Stu and had to insert another breathing tube. I was told that he will most likely being staying in ICU possibly thru all of next week. Please keep Stu in your thoughts and prayers. Y'all are the best.
