My uncle had surgery yesterday for a hernia and an acid reflux issue. He came out of it fine, saying he felt hungry. Later he said his chest felt tight, not painful, just tight. The nurse told him that because they filled him with air during surgery his chest and arms and back would probably hurt but they'd give him meds and he'd be fine the next day. So my aunt went home for the evening because he was fine.
Turns out, not fine. The mesh in his throat tore and punctured his aorta he's been in surgery since 11:30 last night and I have no other news. My whole family is a wreck and I feel really helpless. He has to be ok, there are just too many major ramifications that would effect his wife, daughter and step daughter if he's not.
So any extra thoughts and prayers you have available my family and I would really appreciate them.
