Worrying is exhausting, I feel positively ancient! Pops was admitted on Thursday, the bypass delayed till this Sunday. He had to lie very still with a balloon in his heart and stent in his leg. Medicine is just fascinating and reminds me how cool it would have been to study meds and be a doctor.
They did the trip bypass today which took 6 hours. They will wake him up at 3.00am and my mom will see him tomorrow afternoon.
It was really scary and I am just so glad he has come through OK with the op successful. I am trusting for a quick uncomplicated recovery and a Popsie that feels years younger with a great bunch of fresh oxygen with each breath. Being short of breath and being unable to do anything remotely strenuous just sucks of course. What a year we have had with the parentals! My poor mother is exhausted too from worry and waiting. Thanks for all the prayer and support, especially from Mish and Vicky, my darling friends and fellow clappers. They are God's BF's so with them praying, I have even more peace of mind. Thank you God for looking after my dad and being in that room every second.
Yesterday when Tertia and I went to visit him and he looked so good and strong (half the people in ICU look half dead!) and I felt so lucky to have this young dad who I love so much. Lucky, lucky me to have such groovy fogies and be their fave girl!
Brilliant news. Happy for you all!

sweet Mel - so glad to hear about your dad. Will be praying for a speedy recovery.
Would you mind adding this precious one to any prayer list you can - blog if you feel so led - Some friends of ours moved to Arizona last year and became friends with Aaron & Holly. Their daughter, Kate, age 5 has a brain tumor. They removed about 50% of it - but are begging all of God's people to pray and get the word out to pray.
Her story is here.

I typically don't send this kind of thing - but their friends are our friends - and well, when a kiddo gets cancer, we all should become friends!
Love & prayers from Florida,
Molly
