He had major surgery this morning. The surgery took 4 hours, and according to the doctor, it was a success. My dad is in stable condition right now, but he is 75 years old and will need to remain in a surgical intensive care unit for the next couple of days.

I'll keep your Dad in my prayers. I sure hope he's up and about real soon - with a full and complete recovery.

My Dad just turned 71 and has outlived Diabetes since age 9 and quintuple bypass surgery eight years ago. His Doc now says he's healthier than he's ever been, and his long term blood sugar levels test out like that of a non-diabetic!!! I sure hope your Dad experiences a similar recovery success.

Best wishes and (((hugs)))

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!
My dad's recovery has been going really well! He has now been moved from the ICU to a regular room. He is still sleeping a lot and all his vital signs are still being closely monitored. BUT they have taken away some of the tubes and wires that he had after surgery yesterday, and he has been able to visit a little and watch some TV. The doctor said they are planning to have him get up and walk for the first time tomorrow. That's all the update I have for now.

Lorie, That's wonderful news. I pray that his recovery continues to move forward quickly. He'll be weak for a while, of course. My prayers will continue. Please continue to update us. We appreciate it.
