Surgery Update: About 11:15 last night the surgeon spoke with Pat (Larry's wife) and Larry was off the operating room table. He had received 4 pints of blood and 3 units of plasma, They tied off bleeding muscle tissue in the chest between some ribs, cleaned out the chest cavity, removed the blood clots, restored his blood pressure from 70 to 120 and did not have to remove his lung. He again has chest tubes for drainage (down from 4 to 2),is intubated and on a ventilator. The doctors says the surgery was successful and Larry will be in ICU starting his road to recovery -- again.
Pat and family greatly appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. They still have not seen him and today is Larry's 30 day in the hospital. Larry is so incredibly strong and fighting to get through this.
