My dad made it through the surgery...they ended up doing a triple bipass.  They kept him sedated last night and woke him up and took the breathing tube out this morning.  I went to see him this afternoon and they had just gotten him out of bed and sitting in a chair.  He was still quite groggy and in some pain, but otherwise it's pretty good news.  Hopefully everyday he'll just get stronger and be in less pain.  It's very hard to watch someone who you know to be so strong to be in so much pain.  It's going to get a bit worse before it gets better too I would imagine.  But the scary part is over!

My father is having bi-pass surgery tomorrow afternoon so I would really appreciate any and all prayers or positive thoughts.  He went in on Tuesday for what we thought was going to be angioplasty and possibly some stints...but that turned into surgery since there was too much blockage and it was not in a good place for a stint.  Sooooo...surgery tomorrow.  I know it's a common procedure, but I'm still scared.  It's going to be a long day and I just need it to turn out okay because I'm definitely not ready for it not to be.

Hopefully I'll have good news to report next time...
