1/22/24: Today mid afternoon, Bruce finally got home. He felt much more comfortable in his own bed. He still requests that we refrain from calling, emailing or texting until he regains more strength. He just gets too tired.
He said that he will reach out to us as he begins to feel well and strong enough.
1/17/24: Bruce has had a tough time but he said he is feeling quite good. Late this afternoon he finally got moved from the ICU to a step down floor. Still no word on when he may get discharged. He still tires very quickly. His spirit remains very positive.
"Bruce is out of surgery. Heart good. Only two bypasses. Said good bypass material." Wilma - 01/05/24: 1 PM
12/22/23: Bruce and Wilma very much appreciate everyone's concern and best wishes. Please wait no calls or visits until Bruce is home in a week.
