Surgery is over! We met with the surgeon and all went just fine. He said Tim didn't act up at all - he behaved himself the whole time! That's not me - that was the surgeon's comment. He is one good guy! He was done about 1:30 - then I'm sure there is some of the final stuff like closing him up and getting him over to ICU. They say to allow at least 2 hours before we attempt to go up for a peak. Now we have to get him healed. They removed his pace maker and will wait about a week before they put a new one in. The surgeon said he has his own rhythm - but since he's a baritone - he'll probably need another pacemaker put in to keep him in line! (His quartet willl get that one!) We still have a long road to go. There was some infection that caused this in the first place - so he will be on antibiotics for a while.
I'll send out a finished note this evening! Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, emails, comments! It's wonderful to know we have such a great support group!

Linda & Family: All the guys in the Tippecanotes are praying for Tim's recovery and for the recovery of your sanity! We know you're going through tough times and we wish we could all be there to help comfort you. (On second thought, maybe not!) Just know that Tim is on our minds constantly and we feel confident that all this will eventually be behind him.
