Week two is definitely better than week one. Today Brian drove about six miles. I think he was glad to be the one behind the wheel. He was told he could drive 10 days after he was discharged from Duke and today was nine days.

I went into surgery at 7:50. As of 10:30, everything was going very well.
As of 12:40 Brian is off bypass and being closed up. They were able to do it using the minimally invasive technique!
It\'s 335 pm and Brian is in recovery doing great. He looks great and I\'m heading to the hotel to sleep. Thanks for your prayers and support! Please keep praying for the next 24 hrs. Milly
8/9/11 12:45 Just talked with Millie and Brian is doing GREAT! He is sitting in a recliner and has taken a few walks today. Lets keep praying for Brian to be out by the end of the week.
8/10/11 At 4am this morning, Brian walked a half mile! Keep praying for his strength to increase so he can be home by the end of the week. Thanks for all those kind thoughts and prayers coming our way.
Brian walked over 3 miles today!
