Father Recovering from Surgery - Prayers Appreciated

[Vangie]

Hi everyone!  It's been a while since I've posted, but I do check in and read up.  I'd appreciate prayers for my father who just had cancer surgery yesterday to remove a fist sized tumor in his lung.  The surgery went well and he will be in ICU for at least 48 hours, and he will be dialized today per the surgeon, as he has kidney failure as well.  He's been on dialysis for many months now, and the tumor should have been discovered before that was started as part of standard testing, but someone dropped the ball and just filed the xray report that showed the growth, and it grew for about 5 months undetected.  He's been on chemo to shrink it for surgery, and the team of doctors caring for him are very good at what they do.  So far so good; the surgeon also removed lymph nodes from his chest as a precaution, and hopefully they will test benign.  Thank you for listening and I appreciate prayers for his recovery.  Thank you so much!

Thank you all for your kind words and wishes.  Daddy is recovering nicely in ICU, and he's already "ready to go home"!  He's got another day or two there, then they will move him to a regular room.  The doctor and staff are very pleased with how well he's doing.  He sat up in a chair for over an hour today, got dialysis for his kidney failure, and was still crabby enough to fuss about going home and silencing his beeping monitor.  Never thought I'd be thankful to hear him being short-tempered, but what a blessing that he's still got his spunk!!!  Thank you so much for your prayers.

Glad for the good report.  Crabby is better than comatose, I reckon.
