My father is having open heart surgery tomorrow morning. He was scheduled to have it on October 29, but there was also a "stand-by" option that if someone else cancelled, he could get in sooner. Yes, that's how serious it is.

My mom just called - the hospital just called her and if they can get down there tonight - and they will - he will have his surgery tomorrow morning.

If it's in you to pray, please do so. If not, then send some really positive vibes in the general direction of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Minneapolis Minnesota.

And if some of them stray by my house, that would be nice too.

Suffice to say, my online presence will be sporadic at best for the next few days.

Spirits up, people.

Sending Good-Mind vibe all the way from B'ham, AL up to you and yours in Minnesota. I hope all goes well Channy.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I'm sorry things are so serious with him. I will send what good thoughts I can produce in his direction, and yours.

Hang in there!

When you can, keep us posted.

I'm on this morning for a bit. Have to work this morning to meet a deadline, then I'm back to the hospital.

Last I saw of Dad, he was dozing in a wheelchair on his way to surgery.

To clarify, he's having a valve replaced, but while they're in there, they're going to do a single bypass. I'm told it will take 6-7 hours altogether. Dad is 77 years old and otherwise in good health, so once this is successfully done, he should last a good long while yet. As my brother-in-law said, "You're as ornery as my mom, so you should come through just fine."

Thank you all for your thoughts, well wishes and prayers. To paraphrase Mal and Wash...

Whoa... Good Friends.
