Pop's sugery today

Post by yorkiemum01 » Fri Jun 05, 2009 7:34 pm

My father had hernia repair surgery today and the very first words out
of the hospital staff was 'did you bring your cpap?'. From the anesthesiaologist, to
the surgeon, all wanted to ensure when he came out of the operating room, it
would be ready. Two thumbs up for all his care!

yorkiemum,

Glad to hear your dad's surgery went well (and especially glad to hear that the hospital staff was on top of his CPAP needs).

Not only is it your dad's good fortune to have an CPAP informed hospital, but it is his good fortune to have you there for him! Have the happiest of birthdays!

Thank you all very much...I had a wonderful birthday, and was able to bring Pop home
