Thumbs up John is recovering well.

I I talked with Mrs. Wilkerson at *8:00 pm EDT. John had a 5 way by-pass reconstruction. He is resting comfortably. The medical team is pleased. John is "out of it" for now, but all seems good.
They revived hom temporarily to "check him out" & be certain he was in good shape all the way around, then retired him for the evening. He's now resting comfortably.
He's in the cardiac ward @ Hospital at Duke University, Raliegh NC. He's in Good Hands there.
Just thought y'all might like to know how he's doing. GO John We're with ya!

Get well John

After my father had five bypasses installed he claimed it was like he got a boost of energy.
