The balloon pump has been successfully removed. We are back with Dad and he is doing very well. He's still sedated and on the ventilator but his heart is beating on its own. In looking at his heart beat on the monitor it can be seen that there is some irregularity which is due to damage that has been done. But that fact that his heart is beating independent from any machine is wonderful news.
Next step is removing the ventilator. It is still unknown exactly when that will be, but hopefully in the very near future.
I will keep everyone updated!

Great news, Kacey. I had the chance to work with Neil while at KLIN in Lincoln. I can appreciate the situation as I have chronic heart failure and have a pacemaker. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
