Dad is in surgery and all has gone smoothly so far this morning. He was actually admitted yesterday so he didn't have to get up as early today after all. He came to Barnes for his pretesting yesterday morning and felt lightheaded when they drew his blood - after monitoring for a while, the doctors felt he was just lightheaded from the stick and nothing to worry about, but they gave him the option to stay the night since his procedure was scheduled for such an early time today. I think it was a good decision to stay - he looked rested this morning and was in good spirits.
Surgery was scheduled for 7:30am and we just received our first update to say they are just getting started. The nurses will continue to update every 2 hours and the surgery is expected to take until 4:30pm today.
We are on the first floor in a waiting area within the main/south tower - none of us have cell service, but I'll try to keep the blog updated and we will step out occasionally to check for calls.
Please keep the prayers coming - Thanks
