The bypass surgery went very well, and the surgeon said that, other than the one blockage, his heart looked very healthy. We did get to see him after the surgery, but he was still intubated and partially under anesthetic (although the nurse said that he could likely hear us, although he may not remember it later). They were keeping him under so he could sleep through the night, and they're extubating him this morning (it may have already happened actually). We're going to visit him either tomorrow or Sunday, depending on how he seems and when he wants us to come. If all goes as planned, he should be home by Wednesday, so it will be good he'll be home for Christmas.
Thanks for all the kind words and positive thoughts!
