My dad, Shankar Narayan Ramchandran (Ram for short), is having open heart surgery tomorrow to address his ascending aortic aneurysm. During the surgery, they will also either repair or replace a leaking valve that he has. During this surgery, there is a period where he will be cooled down to slow his brain activity while they work on the aorta.
He's 75 years old and in good health; his arteries have no blockage. The surgeon is well known and the surgery will be in Pittsburgh.
Please keep him in your thoughts during his surgery from 6AM to about 1PM EST on Friday, Dec. 10, '10.
I know the power of positive mental thought, so I appreciate all the help you can give!

The fact that your dad is in good health going in is important and should give some comfort. Best wishes to him and you.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

Best to your father & family. Open-heart surgery is always difficult, but medical technology these days borders on science fiction.

Thank you all so much for your support. I can't begin to explain how much it means to us.
I took my Dad & Mom down to a hotel last night. I'm leaving now to take them to the hospital.
I'll let you all know when he's out of surgery.
Thanks again!
