Emergency Surgery
Dr. Lodge, the cardio-thoracic surgeon, just started emergency surgery on Errol to install a temporary pacemaker to give his heart more support. They can't move Errol to the OR so they are going to do the procedure in the PCICU. Cary is with Errol. I am a mile away with sleeping Owen (who has no idea what's happening) who I can't take to the hospital (no kids allowed). Heroic Benjamin (my brother) is driving from Winston to Durham right now so I can dash to the hospital to be with beloved Errol. The procedure should last until about midnight.

This is actually great news.
I think it is good because it means that the doctors are giving him all the possibilities of surviving. Doing surgery in the PICU is also not a problem. I have sat in on a PICU surgery of a heart. It makes sense. Go Errol. Go Errol. We are behind you babe, we are backing you up.
Millions of prayers are lifting like ballons, up and up, and up.
Peace.........

Dear friends, Cary & Jonathan, I am thinking of you all and sweet Errol at this moment, 11:35pm. I understand the surreal zone you are in. I have been there waiting outside the surgery theater for news of a loved one with a life-threatening infection. It's the ultimate magnification of life's fragility.
Just holding you all in my heart so tightly--Owen too--and Benjamin, your parents, the whole family. Friends continue to beam you with love and hope from everywhere.
11:49. The surgery should be about finished. I loving you guys as hard as I can tonight.
