Dr. Bones, the thoracic surgeon, called my mom to say the surgery went well and that the area that he was bleeding at has stopped bleeding and he looks the best she has ever seen him. She was still concerned about his kidneys so that is another bump in the road. Its okay my dad can conquer this too. We saw my dad and he looked fine, he was sleeping still from all the anesthesia. The nurse said his blood pressure was a little low so they are going to put him back on the blood pressure medicine but a very very very low dosage until it gets back up. So Mr. V is looking good. Earlier my Tia Sylvia's reverend and his wife came by and visited my dad and prayed over him. I am not really a spiritual person like my dad but I know this really did lift his spirits. Earlier in the week we had Father Tim pray the sacraments for the sick and anointed for my dad. My mom keeps my dad's rosary with her and holy water from Lourdes, France. I really think science and faith can work together. If my dad's spirit gave up he wouldn't have been able to survive so much right now. If it hadn't have been for the awesome care by his doctors and nurses too he wouldn't have been able to survive. I know logically this makes no sense but what does in life really. All I know is my dad and people who have faith he will survive and the doctors and nurses have not given up on him, has made him stronger. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts for my dad's recovery.

This is fantastic new. By all means not taking away from how much more he has to "battle". But, this is GREAT news to-date. Still keeping ya'll in our prayers.
That is awesome! We pray for him and you and Tia Diana everyday, but we said a special prayer during Mass today. We love you all! Thank you for keeping us posted on his progress.
