The nurse just called and said that the new lead is in place and the dr. was implanting the device. He was able to use the same incision as last time instead of moving it to the other side. They will have to shock him to make sure the device is working properly but he won't feel it. Should take another 30 minutes and then off to recovery.

Jackie, the transplant coordinator, and Dr. Amos, the transplant psychologist, popped in a few minutes ago. They didn't know what time he was supposed to be taken. Jackie agreed that if I had not come home from work when I did Monday that Bill probably would have been dead when I got home. Maybe he won't be as stubborn now since he's had this little scare.
