He had an aortic dissection, which means his artery shredded itself basically. He had a five hour surgery to repair it and it was successful. However, he now has pneumonia, and has to have assistance breathing. He's been sedated for a few days. The other day when he was awake he was very confused and did not know where he was or who anyone was, so they will be do a ct scan to confirm if he had a stroke or not. The Dr. said he probably didn't, but they want to be sure. People who experience this usually are not completely right afterwards due to the ;lack of oxygen in their brains. My grandfather already had a brain injury when he was younger so they are trying to really monitor him and make sure it hasn't been impacted. I'm really worried. I hope he will be okay.
