Dad's Surgery

Hello to all!

My dad has his surgery today! It was a 3 1/2 hour procedure. They tried to do it laparascopically, however, after working for an hour, the doctor had to open his abdomen. He had to take 1 1/2 feet of his colon, but was able to put him back together again (NO COLOSTOMY)!!!! He will be in the hospital for 7-10 days and then a 6-8 week recovery after that! He was very tired after surgery and in quite a bit of pain. Hopefully he will be feeling much better in the next couple days!

Thanks so much for your prayers!
