Floyd update…He ended up having a quadruple bypass Friday morning. He pulled through it very well, and he is also recovering very well. Kay and I traveled to Southaven, Mississippi (just outside of Memphis)on Sunday to stay with him. His children had to leave at various times, so we were glad to come down and help him. We are actually sitting in his room waiting for someone to come discharge him. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the docs at this point. They’ll get here when they get here. - Our drive home is going to take longer (usually five hours) because we need to stop and get him out every hour. Hopefully the doc will come in soon so we can get on the road.
Ally, Benjamin, and Daddy are doing well at home. Brad is the best daddy!
Fast forward several hours…Kay and I finally got Floyd discharged and drove him home from Mississippi. We were worried he’d be in pain and have a rough ride, but he did very well. We made sure he had all his meds so the trip would be be as easy for him as possible. We are so glad he is home, so he can rest and focus on his healing.
