My brother Calie Z goes in for his big heart operation on Monday.. He only has about a 50/50 chance of even coming home after this time... Very dangerous operation with no guarantees and will not fix the damage already done but will give him a little longer to live.. He doesnt think he is going to pull through and wont let any of us, including my mother or his children come to the hospital to wait...

What would you do???? Please send all the positive thoughts, prayers or mojo for him.. He has two new grandchildren due in the next couple of months.. If anyone deserves to live it would be him... I would gladly go in his place... Thank you... Y'Vonne

Hi Y'Vonne. I truely pray that Calie Z came thru the surgery ok. Sorry I wasnt on here earlier to give you words of support. I think yyou should have gone to the hospital. When my dad had heart trouble I drove over 500 miles, at night, in December (my dad is in ND) just to be there. When he woke I was resting by his bedside. Was a new bond for us. Any who who thoughts and prayers go out to you and all the family. HUGS

He hung tough and made it through a 7 hour surgery.. He is doing well and they are just watching him close now.. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.. My brother is going to be able to meet his new grand kids in the next few months... We are all so very happy. Thank you again for your help..
