prayers for my dad

I just got back from the hospital where my father just had a triple by pass surgery. Went into his Kaiser Dr last thursday complaining of shortness of breath and mild chest pains ...she admitted him that day and had a cardiac catherization performed and found damage to the heart......they peformed surgery today in Los Angeles and they had a hard time stablizing his Blood Pressure in recovery...so the next 24 hrs will be critical.


trying to keep my mom's spirits up the kaiser in LA was on Sunset ( Hollywood for non locals) and right accross the street was the entrance for the scientology complex.....my sister in law and i were like every 5 minutes... "Mom .... hey look Tom Cruise no wait Its John and kelly travolta" anyways if you all could send prayers this way i would really appriviate it!

Will continue to pray for your dad, your family, and you.

If it makes you feel any better, I went through this last year, and know your pain all too well.

cutie - i know what you are going through, my father had a triple bypass a couple of years ago and it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. Luckily he came out stronger than ever, so my hope is that your family has the same fortune.

You , your parents, and your family are in my prayers.

Thanks everyone soooooo Very much for your prayers and good wishes! Today they did remove the vent and actually had him sitting in a chair.........WOW is all i have to say from what i saw the day prior right after surgery. His Blood Pressure they fially got stablized. The nurse stressed a lot about the pain he was exp.....well heck yeah i told my mother ....chest was cut wide open.... but they also went to three diff sites for veins. I guess my understanding those sites are even more painful than surgery.

I told my mother if all goes well and he comes home on time ( sunday can you imagaine that ) it is like a baby all over again no strength and dependent on everything....but now all is repaired and caught early enough to cause no more damage.

[Sister Havana]

How's he doing now? Did he come home on Sunday?

Still keeping him in my thoughts.
