Dad's Surgery

Yesterday my dad had a surprising quadruple bypass surgery on his heart as a result of a heart attack he had on Tuesday afternoon. He had admitted himself that afternoon with chest pain to the ER and was immediately taken in for tests which we negative for a heart attack but they wanted to keep him overnight for observation. That next morning he was sent to a Good Sam for an angiogram which found blockage and the evidence of a heart attack. The doctors decided surgery would be the best option so they scheduled him for Friday morning.
It was very unexpected and rough on all of us but we had great support and prayers from all of our family and friends and we able to get through it really well. Dad is doing greater than the doctors and nurses had expected and will be moved to his own room later this evening. He has been sitting up and talking since yesterday early evening which is wonderful. He is such and strong person so we knew he would do really well and we were obviously right. Thank you again to everyone who has visited, sent flowers, said prayers and most of all believed in him. We could not have done it without you all. Thanks again. We love you DAD!!!
