You know, that is just freaking astonishing. I remember when CABGs were pretty much experimental surgery (late 60’s and on.) (No, I’m not THAT old, this was just my dad talking about his day.) You’d be in the hospital for a month or more, and most times it just bought you a few more years.

And now, if you’re a reasonably healthy patient who was exercising and had not yet had a heart attack, you kind of bop in and bop out, and what’s the big deal, other than your family scared out of their wits and minor things like that.

—I’m not minimizing what’s involved with a CABG. This is Serious Stuff. But holy cow, to see an everyday example of how they’ve figured this out, and operated on a living heart, and created a protocol to “optimize patient outcomes” - that really is amazing. 🙏🏻

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. There is a 5 year old neighbor, whose father likes to drink the day away while the mother is working. When she gets off, takes up where he leaves off (on the drinking part). The little girl goes from house to house, on a daily basis. They don’t even know where she is most of the time. We all bathe her and feed her. What is wrong with people? 🤬🤬🤬

I had a friend of mine get a heart valve replacement and they cooled his body down, put him in a state of suspended animation and had open heart surgery. When they were finished they started his heart up again and when he woke up he asked his wife when are they going to do the procedure because he was tired of waiting. 😳

She spent the day with me, I turned the water hose and let her run through it for a bit, then showed her how to stomp through mud puddles. Old school stuff.

It’s things like this that she will remember later. It’s so important for kids in awful situations to know that those aren’t the only ways that people live. For kids especially, what you see every day is normal, and it’s what their lives will be like when they grow up.

We have to let them know that there’s another path out there, and that (with God/ luck/ community support), they can follow that other path!
