Shots Across The Bow

Serious but not scary has been upgraded to scary.

My mom's heart cath this morning did not go well. Narrowing veins, major arterial blockages and a plugged stent add up to major bypass surgery this afternoon.
UPDATE 2:15:She's off the heart lung bypass machine, and they're closing her up after performing a triple bypass. Everything looks good so far.
UPDATE 3:45:Mom is out of surgery, and we've talked to her doctor. The news is mixed. The triple bypass went well, but the only reason they didn't do a quad was because the last artery is too small. The good news is she has much better blood flow to her heart now. The bad news is that it'll never be back to 100%. She should be awake sometime around 9PM or so, and then off the ventilator an hour or so later. The next two days are the critical period, as far as bleeding, infection, or other complications go.
UPDATE 10:10PM: She's awake and aware, but things aren't looking good. Her blood pressure is staying low, and according to her doctor, her kidney function is dropping off as a result. I'm headed to the hospital for the last visiting hours of the night.

If you pray, now would be a good time.

PS: Thanks for all the good wishes.
