my dads surgery

well, another surgery down for my father. he actually did very well. after his heart surgery a few months ago, they told us he had two aneurysms. the one on his heart is unable to be surgically taken care of, so we need to hope and pray that God will allow it to stabilize; not burst and not grow. The one in his left leg was repaired yesterday. His right leg was 80% blocked and left leg 99% blocked. It was funny. When i talked to him last night the first thing he said to me was "I can feel my toes" crazy as it sounds...anyway. He had some excessive bleeding last night but that is because he is stubborn and doesn't want to lay still after surgery. Eventually he was allowed to get up and walk and did just fine. Hopefully he will be coming home today. My mom was going to go to a friends house to sleep, but couldn't leave him alone because he would have done everything wrong....love my dad to pieces but he is strong willed!!!! anyway, thanks for the prayers and well wishes. I know there are two very close friends whose fathers are going through rough times...us little daddys girls are all they have and they are our whole life! Prayers for everyone.

Leah,
I am very glad to hear that your dad's surgery went well. He is one tough dude and by now he is probably playing golf and picking blueberries! Well, it's too late in the season for that, but he's a trooper, that's for sure. Please give Jim and Louise my love,
Mom
