Angie: Hi John, how is Doreen doing?
John: she's ok, the operation went well, she is still in ICU but that's normal apparently.
Nancy: any idea when we can visit?
John: the surgeon said they will keep her there on the heart monitor to see if there are no irregularities, and when she is on the ward she can have visitors. 
Angie: Glad it went ok, did they manage to find the leaks around her heart?
John: they sealed up two of them, hopefully that is all of them.
Nancy: lets hope so. Are you ok? must have been scary for you too?
John: It has been quite scary for the both of us indeed, the risks around heart surgery are quite significant. 
Angie: Is there anything you need? where are you staying? 
John: I'm staying at Rory's, we are ok thanks. I will call you both when she's on the ward. 
Angie: thanks John, take care.
Doreen's heart operation has gone well, but she remains on ICU for observation. John will contact Angie and Nancy when Doreen can receive visitors.
