James had an upside down Y shaped stent combination placed in his abdominal aorta to improve blood flow and to enforce the blooming walls.   He is alert, ate dinner, and already wants to come home.   He will spend 24 hours in the SICU at the VA then may be moved to the 4th floor if no complications develop.   Michael and I came home tonight.   She plans to go to work tomorrow and I plan to spend the day at the hospital until he is dismissed.
