I thank all of you for the prayers for my son's father-in-law! As I noted in the first post, his open-heart surgery was successful. However, he has been in pain since the surgery, and is retaining fluid. I don't know why they can't give him pain medication. Please pray that he gets through this! He couldn't sleep last night because of the pain! It is very discouraging for him and his family. Thank you!

pain meds thin the blood. I could see why they'd refrain from it after a heart surgery.
Since pain meds also affect the heart (od's cause the heart to stop, right?), that could also be a reason. I hope they know what they are doing :)
