General Update Concerning My Dad
My Dad's surgery on Friday went "as well as it could have", according to his doctor. He was in surgical ICU until Monday morning. He went to a step-down room yesterday and then I received a call from my Mom this morning and reported that he is going home!
He has done well. He was up and sitting in a chair 3 to 4 times on both Saturday and Sunday and walked a little bit on Sunday with the aide of a walker.
Our pastor and associate pastor - at North Park Baptist Church - came to visit before the surgery as well as a number of business associates over the weekend. It is always good to see an outpouring of support, care and concern.
With the fusion that he had in his back, the doctor had told him last October that he'd need to be off work for up to six months with his travel (like I do). However, he has taken a job locally and is hoping to be in a position to go back to work in about six to eight weeks. The Marine in him will probably want to push that envelope.
He's gone 40-something years without ever missing a paycheck. Something that he has been incredibly thankful for - and something, of course, that I'm proud of him for. Before this recent job had come through, and with his business going down, he was at a point that they were starting to explore unemployment benefits and he had contacted the VA to see about being able to get his meds, as a Vet, through them. But God took care of everything.
Thank you for all of your prayers, thoughts and concerns for my Dad. I greatly appreciate each and every one of them.
