Question
my grandaddy had heart surgry monday and everything is fine they say but he will not wake up and nobody knows why.. what could it be comeing from
Nicole
You don't mention how old you are. I'm sure this is a difficult time but these are questions you really need to ask the team who are looking after him. There are many different types of heart surgery and so it is difficult to make any comment on the info you have provided. All operations have risks but as you say 'he is fine otherwise'. We can only hope that whatever the problem is that it will right itself quickly.
I'm sorry I can't say anymore at this time.
Kind regards
Dr Ian Jackson
