Update on Mike Bishop 2/16

Mike's surgery started later than anticipated yesterday.  He got out of surgery around 7:30pm last night.
His daughter Lindsey posted this update this morning:  A
round 2am this morning. they took him off the vent.  
But by 4am he was having trouble breathing and did some test and found fluid around his lungs. They had to push a lot of meds. That is making his heart work harder than it needs to.
They took him back at 9:00am to cath lab and placed a small balloon pump in to help his heart not work so hard. They said his heart still looks strong but they just don't want to over work it.
They brought him back from cath lab 10:55am and placed the device just fine.
They will be repeating x-rays to check lungs and an ECHO to check heart over the next few hours, to see if things improve and then go from there.
But for now we wait until all results come back before making any other decisions.
Thank you for all the prayers, love and support.
Keep them coming.
