Just got this update from Lorie:
My uncle's having surgery today. They were supposed to start at 5am. It will probably take most of the day. He's having a valve replaced and 2 stints replaced/fixed that are blocked. Mom went to the hospital yesterday and saw Aunt Catherine. She was in a daze, she said. Mom will go by tonight and see how things are going. Thanks for all your prayers. His name is Edward Washburn and the surgery is at a hospital in Spartanburg, SC.
