Strange Turn of Events

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Hi All, "Brent Here"...("what, isn't he supposed to be in the ER just now?"...) Well, in the world of Heart Transplants, Stanford Hospital is on the cutting edge. Unfortunately, when that organ becomes available, all other surgery activity stops...at least Brent's Surgery did today! My surgery has been postponed due to the specifically required operating room being unavailable due to the Heart Transplant. Of course trying to reschedule a procedure like mine is no easy task either, so now I'm going home, only to return Tomorrow Night in preparation for a "tentative" First-Case start Friday Morning, 2/26. If Friday does not pan-out, I get pushed to Tuesday AM. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, as I'm really ready for this thing today. However, one learns to roll with the swell, and I will just need to be ready again on another day.

I'll post another update when I have more details.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who are sending me such good wishes today! I need to ask you All to put "a hold" on them until Friday or Tuesday! Thank you ALL so much, brent

Hi Brent,
You don't know me, but I am your Aunt Nancy's sister-in-law. I just wanted you to know that we are praying for a successful surgery and for wisdom for your doctors.

Hi Brent,

The entire Wiest family is praying for you. I'll call Margaret tonight to let her know that your surgery got bumped. I stopped there after work tonight and the first thing she asked me was whether I had heard any news. Larry called mom last night, so he is also keeping tabs on you. Anyway, although your surgery is delayed, you can spend some quality time visiting with your dad and Donna. Good luck on Friday. We're all pulling for you.

Love, Jeanne
