In need of some good thoughts.
 

my dad goes wednesday morning for surgery for a stomach aneurysm. Dr. found it before it made him sick and the Dr thinks surgery should go pretty well and dad's health is pretty good. i just figure it never hurts for some extra good vibes.:)

Good Luck for your old man DD.

Hope everything goes well, my thoughts will be with you. I know what your going through with my dad's surgery. He's got one more chemo treatment next Thursday and then doesn't need another for six months.

best of luck to your dad! hope all goes well, and a speedy recovery.

Thanks everyone! everything went very well! he has to stay the night at the hospital and should be home tomorrow.

Good deal, dd.

Fine work.

glad to hear and best wishes on a speedy recovery. modern medicine is a great thing no doubt.

Nice news.

Hope he's feeling better and up and around soon.

Good to hear!

Glad to hear this, tide. Best wishes for a fast recovery for your Pops.

D, Glad your father is doing well.

great news -glad your father is doing well-take care

Update.
 

dad didn't get to come home thursday. he was running a low grade fever and they had no signs of infection. they thought he was getting the flu. 11pm thursday night they took him back up to surgery. a stitch inside him was leaking, he need 4pts. of blood. mom called at 6am and said he was feeling MUCH better.
THANKS EVERYONE for thinking of him !!

The same thing happen after my dad's surgery, expect the blood was gathering outside where the colon was remove. He had a fever also. Sometimes surgery on an older person is tougher after it's done.

hopefully no more problems, and he's home in time to watch kickin on tv!

Hey, so sorry I missed the thread, just saw it today (like "now-ish"), my prayers are with you and your dad. If there is anything I can do...let me know!

Everyone else is being a sissy here.

Just saw this thread today. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hope your dad gets to come home soon....

at Least 48 more hours in the hospital. 2 more pints of blood yesterday that finally seemed to get his oxygen levels up which helped get his hydration levels to come up. 8 pints of blood total now.:(

so sorry to hear that things haven't been going better. hope you get better news soon.

Darren,

I hope things are starting to get better, and your dad is stronger and home soon.

hospital finally released my dad today. a 48 hr procedure, turned into 7 days. he still weak but i think he'll perk-up better at home. it's a BIG relief on my mom.
THANKS again for all the good thoughts.

That is great to hear. I hope your dad is back to his old self soon. He can finally get some rest at home. Hospitals are no place to get any rest.

Very good,sir.




Take him to Beulah

He'll be glad you did.
