Prayers for My Dad's Surgery - YorkieTalk.com Forums

FlDebra · 10-06-2010, 01:26 AM

Haven't been on in a few days. My dad had a very bad heart attack and will be having triple by-pass surgery this morning. Came on for a quick request for prayers and good thoughts sent his way. He is pretty strong for his age and has a good attitude, but I know he will need God's help to get through this. My mom is pretty worried, so if you could include her too, that would be so appreciated. They are the best parents anyone could have ever hoped for. I love them so very much! I am praying for God's guidance for the surgeon and team and His will for a successful surgery, smooth recovery and comfort for them both. Prayer has power!

Your dad is in my prayers! My family have long long been victims of heart disease and it is very scary. You will be in our thoughts.

Hugs,
Bonny

Debra, I've been praying this morning for your Dad, hoping he is out of surgery and recovering now. I'll continue to keep your family in my thoughts as you go through this.

Still in surgery. They thought surgery might be completed around noon.
All reports so far are good! Thanks for prayers and good thoughts.

I have my laptop in the waiting room. Decided to check in to keep my mind busy.

Heart surgery has advanced so much, it's just about miraculous what can be done. Both of my parents had several multiple bypasses and had many years added to their lives as a result.

One thing surgeons don't usually tell you is that it is very common for post-op patients to be depressed and/or angry for some time. It only makes sense -- they've had to face their mortality and that's awfully frightening. My mother recognized it in herself and went for counseling. My dad did not, and he had a really tough time getting back to his positive, wonderful self. I really think counseling should be part of the post-op therapy for heart and cancer patients.

Praying for your dad to have a good recovery, and for your mom to handle the stress of this well. And big hugs to you.

Thank you all so much. i knew I could get some prayer power here. My dad just got done with surgery about 1 pm. All went well. We will get to see him here in half an hour or so, Thank you and Thank the Good Lord!

boopster · 10-06-2010, 12:01 PM

I'm so glad to hear the surgery went well. You will feel a lot better after you've seen him for yourself. Now you and your mom need to get some rest. Hugs to you both.

That is great news! My mom had open heart 4 years ago and is now doing fantastic. Hoping for the same with your dad as well.

FlDebra · 10-06-2010, 12:20 PM

I hope so too! That is good to hear someone else who went through the surgery and is doing well long range. We got to see Dad for a few minutes but he is still out. All is going well though and he looked pretty good. Will get to see him again this evening.
