So, my Dad came home from the hospital just over a year ago...a walking miracle. Well, when he left the hospital he had two drains attached to him. One drains the fluid from his pancreas, and the other drains the fluid from his gallbladder. After an infection in his gallbladder, likely caused by the drain, in March where Dad had to spend four long days in the hospital he and his Dr. decided that it was time to remove the drains and redo his "plumbing" inside. He has his surgery Monday morning, June 15 at 7:30 AM.
I'm scared. We've already gotten him back once, will we get him back again? The surgery is pretty major - the least of it being that his gallbladder will be removed and possibly even a portion of his pancreas and spleen. It is scheduled to take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.
Should you come across this post and feel led to pray for my Dad, thank you. The power of prayer is immeasurable. We serve an Awesome Lord and all things are possible through Him! I pray that it is His will to see Daddy safely through this surgery and recovery and to allow him a full and complete recovery and a long healthy life from here forward.
