My father is going to the clinic to find out why he has been having chest pains and shortness of breath the last few days. Mom thinks it's pneumonia.

Oh, I hope there's nothing wrong with your dad except stress over your mom! I'll be praying for health for both of them. I know how it is to not be close when your parents are ill.

Well Dottie, at least I don't have that issue. My parents and I live only 16 miles apart. If they needed me, I could be there in 20 minutes.

Dad is on his way to the hospital. The people at the urgent care clinic wanted to send him by ambulance, but he didn't want to go that way, so either my youngest sister or her husband was going to pick him up from the clinic and take him. That is all the information I have right now. I don't know what they think might be wrong with him, only that they want to have more tests done at the hospital.

They found out Dad has a blockage, so tomorrow they will be doing a heart catheterization and putting in a stent.

The doctors decided a stent won't be enough, so Dad is going to have a triple bypass today. But they did say he has a strong heart, so it should go well.

I got another call. The surgery will be tomorrow, but they don't know when yet. I'll let you all know.

No surgery today for my dad after all. The surgeon had an all-day surgery yesterday, so he needed to not have surgery today. He will be talking to Dad and my sister today, and scheduling it, either for tomorrow or Monday.

We finally have a definite time. Dad's surgery will be Sunday morning at 10:00. Everybody else wants to be at the hospital, but I'm going to stay with Mom at their house. She is pretty helpless.

Either I was told the wrong time or they changed it. Dad's surgery will start at 7 AM Sunday, not 10 AM.

Dad's actual surgery lasted from about 9 AM until 2 PM. They did a quadruple bypass instead of triple. He's in recovery now, and I will be leaving soon to spend the rest of the day with my mother.
Thank you to all who prayed.

I'm assuming that's good news? Its always better to recoup at home than spent to much time in the hospital. pk

Yes, that is good news. It means he's doing well enough to leave the hospital right on schedule, and also that he & Mom are finally together again.
