Everything went well!

By the time we got there the operation was already in progress and afterward the Doctor said that it went well. Sounds like Ben got a complete overhaul and should be good for another 10,000 miles.
Aside from having a catheter protruding from his heart, he looks pretty good..
Ben says to thank you all.

I have been away from the blog for the last several days, spending time with my 91 year old Aunt in GA. (Shopping and running around.. yep, she is a great old girl and lots of fun!) So, I have been away from the blog news since last Friday...and then tonight I just read about Ben and his heart surgery. I was so shocked. We are so glad and thankful to God and the surgeons that he came thru this real well. He and his family, Barbara, Buckles and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers for Ben to continue to get better, stronger and healthier. That had to be very very scary for you all. It was so good of you to update everyone. God Bless you all! Karen Glenn

Buckles,
Thank you for caring enough about those of us who have been so fortunate to have had our lives influenced by you, Barbra, Ben, and Darleen to keep up posted on Ben's progress. God saw fit to bring each of you into our lives at many different times and in so many places and in so many different ways.

All of you, and especially Ben, will remain in our prayers as his recovery continues.

Warren

Ben, I am praying that you have a speedy recovery. I just had the same thing done November 5th, so I know what you have just gone through. As soon as you can, take your dancing partner (your IV pole) and get up and walk the hallway, it really helps. It can only get better from here on out. Best wishes to everyone.
