I'm sorry you both have had to go through all this. Prayers continuing for both of you.
"They" is the attending and Coop's surgeon (via phone). We had the nurses and techs on the side of admitting, especially since Coop almost passed out twice with his pressure dropping dangerously low, but no go. There is also a problem with his white cell count indicating an infection somewhere that was mentioned a couple of times. I just pray it all goes well, as I know you all do too, and I greatly appreciate it.
