Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. So far all is going good. Today they had decided to do surgery between 4:30,and 5:00. They put a stint in his aorta where it was separating, had they not done that dr said it would have continued to to get bigger. He said it was like a run in panty hose. He was out of surgery by 6:30. Doing well, was ready to eat, and was making jokes with the nurses!! LOL If all goes well he may come home tomorrow!!
He kept telling Grandma to tell me not to worry about him and focus on running for the Hoffmans this friday. My opportunity this friday has always been a dream and goal of ours. He's said for years since we made the move back east that would be the team to drive for. I am glad to be able to have the chance to live his and my dream. This Friday will be for him. Get better Grandpa see ya next month.
