Thank you ...

to everyone for the good thoughs and prayers! They worked! Dad's surgery went well - and he is now in ICU. As of earlier, he was still sleeping and hadn't been awake yet. He's in ICU on a ventilator and will be for a couple of days before they move him to another room. The original timeframe for his hospital stay was until next Tuesday, but that all could change. Still looking at quite the recovery period in the upcoming months, but the scary part is over. :)
