In surgery

well they took my dad back to surgery at 8:56am, here in the waiting room they have a screen that shows the progress. So now we are just waiting and praying.

So the day begins

We are in pre-opp, just waiting to get started.

Heart is good, Surgery is a go

Well we just heard that his heart is good, so they have set the surgery for tomorrow.

Well a small bit of good news

We just heard a small bit of good news, they beleive that the cancer is just in the colon and has not moved to the liver. they can’t be 100% until tomorrow but they are pretty sure. So a bit of good news in all this bad. Still waiting on the results of the stress test before we find out for sure if they will do the colon surgery tomorrow.

Update on Dad

Well they are running all kinds of test on his heart this morning. We are hoping that everything will come back ok so that they can operate on him tomorrow. They have said that is all goes well that they will do the colon surgery in the morning about 8 am.

Surgery Postpond for a day

Looks like the surgery has been postpond for a day, the doctors want to make sure that his heart is ok to make it thru the surgery. Seems like it just keeps coming. We are hopful the heart doctor will clear him and then they can go in and remove the cancer and he will be ok.

surgery tomorrow

They will be doing the surgery tomorrow about 10, and then we have to wait 2 days for the results.

Still waiting

Still waiting for the doctor to come in. Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts.
