I am writing from Lee's hospital room. Unfortunately, going home today is not an option. His main graft surgeon did not get a confirmation on a return to his anticoagulant, so after they communicate and reach a decision we will know when to leave. That could be Tuesday or even Wednesday. Of course we are both disappointed, however, do understand.
Again, the " rock & the hard place". Rules, because that is where Lee is! To explain further, the small arteries that were grafted cannot be allowed to do either of two things. It must not clot, and it must not bleed. Either one would require breaking down the graft & starting over! All that work in vain! For their caution, and good judgement, we are grateful.
We are disappointed, but happy that his recovery is progressing well. It is always comforting to be here @ Duke in case of crisis!
