I guess many of you wondered where I have been off to again ... mylast post was about my hospital stay and now Marco is in the hospital since Monday in critacal conditon, requiring a quadruple by pass.
the most important thing right now is to make sure they stablize him and the hospital has run many tests to see if he can take the strain of this operation.
he saw the neurologist (Marco had a history of brain aneurysms) and the Neurologist has given the okay and now he needs to have a memory test from the occupational therapist.
if his memory is not good they can't do the surgery as in the case of Marco being 78 yrs old and having early dementia it poses a problem. Apparently with bypass surgery it can lead to full blown memory lose. And this is my major worry. Because if they can't do the surgery he could have another heart attack in which he would not be expected to live. I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place and it is killing Marco too.
But I have to wait until after our long weekend and see what transpires next week. But I thought I would let you all know .
I could really do with your prayers thoughts vibes or any thing you can do to make this a little bit easier for me to get through. I will do my very best to keep you all up to date.
