Update. ( need some more prayers)
UPDATE ON PAGE 2



As many of you know my dad had a heart attack on January 10th. I was gone for 11 days when he went home.
Most of you didnt know he was home for 7 days then had heart congested failure after that he went home for 3 days and now he is back in the hospital with his 3rd congestive heart failure. Sad news it is now too late for the defibulator that he should of have gotten when he was in the hospital the first time. The hospital that he went to the third time had to air vac him to Scott and White in Temple Tx. This doctor said I dont care about the Obama Care. Your dad will not survive another heart attack or congestive heart failure so we need to check some things and give him what he needs. So yesterday he went for a test to where they put a blood pressure gauge in his jugler vein to get a more accurate blood pressure reading. He came out of that OK. Now the doctor says the defibulator pase maker will not help him now. What we need to do is get the fluid out of his lungs and that will be approx 2 weeks since the fluid is too thick to drain with a cathiter he will have to cough it up but at the same time we will leave the cathiter in him so if it gets thin enough it will drain.
After his lungs are clear it is up to you ( dad) you can go home and go through this again and may not make it or have a surgery. The surgery consists of open heart surgery and putting a pump inside your heart wich will raise your blood pressure to sustain your life. The pump runs off of batteries and you will have to carry a battery pack for the rest of your life. You will have 2 batteries and every 11 hours you will need to change the battery out with a charged one.
During the surgery your chances of surviving the surgery is 50-65%. No surgery you will not see the end of 2012 following the track record you are on now. It is your decision (dad) on what you want to do. Dad said I will take my chances with the surgery. I cannot live like this anymore. Its already I dont have surgery I am good as dead. If I am to die in surgery then the good lord said its time for you to come home. If I survive then the good lord says its not my time yet. I opt for the surgery.
Under these conditions I side with my dad on any choice he makes. I wanted to let you all know what is going on incase I have to leave at a moments notice and cant fullfill my trades at a timely manner.

I am praying for your family. That as to be a tough place to be.

On a side note referring to the trades. You may try sticking to guys you know and send first, so if things go bad, they know not to send until you return. This way prevents claims of being screwed that would be untrue.

Best if luck to your family.

Take comfort in knowing the good Lord will be with him either way.

Thank you, I just looked on the callender and if everything goes good the surgery will be March 2nd. That would have been my moms 71st birthday too.
I love my dad so much that if he goes a big piece of my life will be gone. I am so proud of what he has done for this country. Korea, VeitNam 3 tours, American Civilian in Desert Storm (91) as a consultant for the Saudi Arabia and US forces, Member of the special forces, and fix the exploding problem with the M1-A1 Abrams tank, and 30 years of service to this great country.

Wow! That just about sums it up. The Lord will be lucky to have him on his side just as we all were.

I'll say prayers for your father Wayne. I know how it is as my grandfather "86" has a very bad heart and lungs. He has a pacemaker in his chest. Also just got out of the hospital in january with mild congestive heart failure. Seems like he is in and out of the hospital alot through the winter seasons. I'm always worried about him as he lives with my wife and I. Stay positive and keep your trust in the lord.
