An update (Kuya Rey’s condition) – - and a good one at that!
This morning, we all got up to go to mass at 8:30 in the morning at St. John the Evangelist. The homily was quite unclear as we all had one thing on our minds. Today was the day that Kuya Rey was going to undergo heart bypass surgery. We enveloped ourselves in prayer to ask God to guide the human hands that will perform the operation and to send His angels and saints to gather round the operation table and protect him from any harm.
We arrived at the hospital around 11:00 a.m. after a quick breakfast. Kuya Rey was relaxed and ready for his operation. Ate Glory, sat beside him looking worrisome. We didn’t want to alarm Kuya Rey so we told jokes and talked around his hospital bed as if it was a regular day. The nurse arrived, checked on his stats and chatted with us for a while. By 12:30, his anesthesiologist walked in to prepare him. She asked a few questions about his medical history and so forth. She advised him not to worry, that he is in the hands of a very good doctor known to perform the procedure.
