Dean's Heart

We're so glad Diane doesn't have to have surgery yet. That's great! Dean went in for his first procedure on Friday. They put a stent in his renal artery and checked out all the arteries. There is no other blockage, so no bypasses. (YEA) He was able to watch everything on a monitor because they didn't put him clear out. It took just a couple of hours. He stayed down for two hours and then they let him go since we could stay in the Salt Lake Valley. He's back to work tomorrow. He is on a Plavix for a month, then when he's off that for at least a week, they can do the open-heart surgery. We will go up in about a week to meet with the surgeons to determine a date for that. We just want to get it done. The hospital there is so amazing and wonderful and we are so greatful for all the new technology and doctors. It will be so much better to get done now than 15 years ago. Love to you all.
