Mary,
You and Kevin are in my thoughts as well.The doctors got to him in time,and this is good.He should be strong enough to pull through.I hope the news keeps getting better.

Best wishes and prayers to you both.

Well guys, Kevin made it through the night. So far he is doing well. He still remains on the ventilator and on the heart pump, but all vital signs are stable. His blood pressure is now stable, his color looks really good, and so far..all labs indicate improvement. I am now waiting on the cardiologist to come in and review the morning findings, and the tenative plan is to have the heart pump removed and the ventilator off by the end of the day. I will let you know more as things change. Please keep thinking of and praying for us. And for all of those who have posted their sympathies, thank you so much for taking the time to care.
Mary:

Thats good news. I hope it keeps getting better.

Mary just read about what is happening with Kevin and that he seems to be progressing. Mine and my families thoughts and prayers are with you and kevin during this time.

Glad to hear that Kevin is making a good recovery. Hope he gets better soon!

I am glad he is coming around. I was worried there for a while. I know he is probably not out of the woods yet but hopefully things will continue to improve.

Another Update!!!!....The cardiologist just came in ..says kevins labs are great, his cardiac enzymes are a lot lower than they expected..which means there is lots less damage to the heart , and they just removed the heart pump. )) As of right now..they are keeping pressure on the site to slowly stop the bleeding, and will continue to do this over the next 30 min. I spoke with his lung doctor, and he says that kevins lungs sound really good. He has been weaned off the oxygen, from 80% about three hours ago down to about 40% now. Which means,,that the ventilator gets to come out shortly.
Once again, keep the prayers coming, i am sure that all of your prayers are being heard and are being sent straight to Kevin aiding in his recovery.
Mary

Mary god bless him! and you too ,give him my best wishes ,and both of you will be in my prayers tonight ,and until hes back with us! all the very best and god bless ! K

Kevin is surely in my thoughts and prayers!

Sad to hear it...But eveything is gonna be allright!

UPDATE!!!!!!!...Woohoo...The pulmonologist just came in and they have turned off the assisted breathing portion of the ventilator. What this means is ...that although the tube still remains in his throat. His breathing is now being done totally by him. ) All vitals are holding steady. And his oxygen level is doing very well. Next step will be to remove the tube from him. So Keep your fingers crossed that that happens. Thanks again to everyone for there kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

Mary,Ive just signed in Im so sorry to hear about Kevin Ive read the posts and glad he's pulling through.Ive been there myself five Heart attacks a triple byepass and further surgery when my byepasses blocked up, its not the end of the world though just keep him positive you can get easily depressed after something like this I know I did,If he gets down tell him about a fat old man in england riding his bicycle through the english rain who still goes to the gym and gets drunk now and again.

I don't really know Kevin, but I've still got my fingers crossed for both of you. From your updates, it looks good, though, so hang in there.

Hi Mary

I don't visit this forum often, so I missed your earlier posts. Dreadful initial news, but it's fantastic to read that Kevin's surpassing the doctor's expectations and doing so well. Rest assured, my thoughts are in the queue of good vibes heading to both of you.

Take care

Rowan

It is good to hear that Kevin is now holding his own. Sorry for a late "prayer" for Kevin, but I have been out of the net for last two weeks.

Your presence, I am sure, has been instrumental in his improvement
