The surgeon just came by and let us know that the surgery to remove the blockage in his artery was successful. He commented that the blockage was as serious as they had suspected and was likely responsible for the stroke. They saw activity in the plaque that showed that the plaque had recently broken apart and released fragments, which is the likely culprit for what happened. We haven't seen him, yet. But, the doctor said that they roused him and they didn't think that there was any furthering of the stroke or additional neurological damage, as a result of the operation today.
So, he's headed back to the ICU. Bed 12, this time. We expect to be able to see him in an hour or so. But, it'll be back to the ICU visiting schedule; so, it'll be just four visits a day, for just a few minutes, until Sunday or Monday, when he'll be back in his rehab room.
We'll update later, after we've seen him ...
