At the hospital

Nothing like hurrying up to wait. I hope they take him in soon.

How frustrating! You've had to wait sooooooooooo long now. Hopefully your dad is having his surgery as I type this. Please keep us updated. I'll be praying for him.

Still waiting............

I'm trying not to complain at you all. LOL......The last thing y'all need to hear is whining. I'm sure hoping that the surgery is soon, though. It'll take at least two hours, plus the ride home is about an hour and a half. Poor Dad.........He was just saying "I hope they don't postpone it til tomorrow again!".
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! *breathe in.......breathe out*

Oh my. I just saw your post, Savannah. Waiting is so hard, especially since you've been waiting since yesterday. Did they say what the hold up is? Hopefully it will be soon. By the way..........you're not complaining.

Thank you! The nurse just came in and told us that he's now on the schedule for surgery at 8:30. She said it'll probably be closer to 9:00. I sure hope they'll at least get to it tonight! Dad is so ready to get this taken care of.

Thank you so much for the prayers. We're all exhausted, and it looks to be a very long night. I'm going to go down and get some more coffee.

Love,
Savannah

Oh Savannah...
I hope they really mean it! Hang in there girl.... Mr. Juan Valdez will keep you awake and Mr. Snickers and Mr. Mars can also make good company! With them 3 around you'll see how everyone else around you moves in slow motion LOL!

I'm so sorry you have all been waiting around for so long. Sometimes that is the hardest part, just not knowing when.

I'll be thinking about all of you tonight and I'll check tomorrow for any more updates.

Chocolate and coffee are my friends right now. I just finished a big cup of some very strong coffee, loaded with lots of sugar. Hyper, hyper, hyper....

Hey friend that's great!!!!!
I wish I was there with you to partake in the ceremony of what is known as "inhaling chocolates" lol

Good! Everything will be alright.

I bet your dad is so relieved that they're finally getting down to business. How soon before he can have a cup of coffee??

We'll all be praying, Savannah.

I just saw this thread after I saw in one of the other threads you were
going to be at the hospital all day today. I'm thinking of and
praying for your dad, you and your ankle. I'm glad he's finally in
surgery to get the problem taken care of.

Please let us know as soon as you can how your dad is doing. {{{HUGS}}}

Thats Wonderful Savannah I'll Keep praying for him

What great news!!!!!

That's wonderful, Savannah!! So, can your dad have coffee tomorrow? LOL!!

That's great news Savannah. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

God is awesome. Good to hear that the worst is over and now the healing can begin. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Gee, all this talk of coffee makes me want some!

The doctor said that they expect that Dad will be there in the hospital for another week. (:faint2: ) He can't eat or drink anything so far. One nurse told him it could be a couple of days more, because of where his surgery took place. He'll have to have another surgery in about three months to completely fix what's wrong. He still has a long road ahead of him. The surgery that he had is considered major surgery, and the healing process has to be watched closely.

The hospital staff has been so kind, and so sweet, but I'm ready to bid them adieu. Another week of all of this travelling..........And I know that my Dad is more than ready to go home.

One more thing that I'd like to ask prayer about is my Mom. She's more exhausted than I am, and so far her blood pressure is doing well through all of this. But exhaustion isn't good for her heart. She's had heart attacks before, and I sure don't want her to have to go down that road again.

Thanks so much everyone.

Love,
Savannah
