Dennis has stablized and is doing well. His bleeding has subsided with lots of helps from some good drugs. He was awake for a brief moment for the nurses to check his responsiveness. He is able to move all of his extremities as commanded. Praise God!
They will spend the day keeping him quiet, comfortable and resting while reducing his fluid load. He is very edematous and in order for them to close his chest, they will need to decrease his fluid and reduce his swelling. We are hopeful that he will return to the OR sometime tomorrow (this evening at the earliest).
During this second surgery, they will change his defib pack, wrap his heart with a membrane and close his chest.
As for us, we are tired but doing well. We are extremely grateful for all the prayers and support we have been receiving during this difficult time. Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts. We have felt a greater peace as we have walked through this journey with Dennis.

Dennis you have obviously proven you are a fighter. I believe we would all say we will continue this fight with! You are such a blessing to us all. My prayer for you and your family is that Gods arms stay continually wrapped around you and bring you an abundance of peace, quick healing, and miracles we know he has planned for you.

Thanks for the update and the encouraging news!!! That word "stabilized" especially is very welcome to hear. Know that Dennis and the rest of the family continue to be in my prayers.
I am very relieved to hear he is doing well. We worry about him on the team at work. When you have a chance to speak to him, please let him know we've been circulating word around the floor to keep everyone updated.
