A couple weeks ago, my dad went in for a routine check up with Dr Mower. Dr Mower listened to his heart and heard a murmur. Dr Mower ordered an EKG for him. The EKG showed that my dad's aorta was bulging. A CT scan was then ordered. It confirmed that my dad's aorta was 7.2 cm!
They scheduled my dad for the next opening they had at Utah Valley Hospital. He had an angiogram yesterday and today he arrived for surgery at 4:45 am.
His case number is UVOR 6266
My mom and I left the hospital for a few hours. They kicked us out at 6:00. My dad's surgery didn't start til 8:07. He was in surgery for 7 hours!
