please for my Pops. He went into surgery this morning at 6:15 a.m. at MD Anderson hospital in Houston. Its been a tough struggle lately for him and my Ma, but hopefully, things will be looking up after today.
I couldn't travel down with them, but my oldest sister was able to make the trip so Ma wouldn't be alone.....needless to say, its a little bit hard to concentrate right now.
anyway, thanks for any postitive thoughts you can send their way!!
Here's a wish for a speedy recovery from Canada!!
All the best you you and your family right now!
Prayers and Positive Vibes, my Friend!
You got my prayers. And they'll come in a lot faster than Newfie's cause they won't have to make it through customs.
We're thinking about you and your family and hope for a quick recovery.
MD Anderson is a great hospital, they'll take care of him there.
spiffy
Prayers sent...M.D. Anderson is a good place. My uncle went there a few years back they did wonders for him.
Our thoughts are with you and your family. Be well.

Just got off the phone with my sister and Pop is out of surgery.....all went well, though they had to do more extensive "work" than they anticipated. He tolerated it well anyway and is now on his way to the recovery room.
Thanks again to you all for the prayers and good thoughts.........:smiley31:
Sounds like good news!
I know from experience....He's probably gonna be REALLY grouchy for a day or two
That's great news Jamie! Hope everything continues to go well.
Godspeed!
That's excellent news!!! Best wishes!
Prayers and Well wishes for your Father, you and your family!

Hey everyone. First off, let me thank you again for all the prayers and well wishes, they are much appreciated!! :smiley20:
Pop took a couple of steps backwards over the weekend. He got up and walked a little bit on Saturday.......but that may not have been a good thing as his heart rate started doing some funky things. The Dr's have added some additional drugs to his regimen and the heart rate appears to be in control now, but no more walking and an extension to his stay is expected. He has also developed an air leak, which all say is expected and should heal itself over time.....how much time remains to be seen.
Like always though, my Pops remains in good spirits, and is more concerned about everyone else than he is himself..........his first question to me was "Does Mindy have enough straw in her dog-house? Have you checked her food and water today?"
He wants to come home and get my Ma back to her familiar surroundings so that she will be comfortable!! Please, keep him and my Ma in your prayers!!
Thank you all!!:smiley31:
Your Dad sounds a lot like mine. After his triple bypass, he was asking about others, in good spirits, and always acted like he was fine even when he wasn't. And always pushing himself, it's difficult to get him to accept limiitations as he gets older.
I hope your Dad heals up so you can enjoy a wonderful Christmas together. Stay strong!
WHIPPEEEEE, Pops got home from Houston Saturday afternoon, and tolerated the trip pretty well. Got all the arrangements made for his oxygen machine and back-up supplies. I have to take him to his local Dr. this afternoon for a quick follow up, dressing change, etc.....but all is looking well. It will be an especially meaningful holiday season this year. :smiley20:
Thanks again to all of you for your well wishes and prayers, I, as well as all my family, appreciate it deeply. :smiley32: :smiley31:
Glad to hear he's home and everything is okay. :smiley1:
Great News:smiley20:
Never underestimate the power of Positive Vibes, (and great doctors)!
Great news Jamie. Sounds like he's over the hump.
good vibes from DC
That's great to hear. I hope his recovery continues and your holidays are happy ones.
That's awesome news to hear he is back at home.
That's excellent news! I'm sure you will make the best of the Christmas season together!
