11/28/06: David's debrillator implant today

It is a dual celebration day! Doug, Sr. is 51 today! David's implant was a success today!

Dad's defibrillator implant surgery was scheduled for 9:00 AM this morning at the Renown Hospital in Reno. However, he didn't actually go into surgery until the early afternoon. The surgery was scheduled for 1.5 hours. Afterward, dad said that they put a 4 lb. weight on top of the implanted defibrillator for several hours. He is resting in the hospital, and is doing well. Jeric and Debbie plan to drive up to Reno on Thursday to bring dad and Dora home. Hurray!!!
