This will be brief as I am typing from a "tiny" computer!:) I just wanted you all to know that my dad is out of surgery. He went in at about 2 pm, surgery started at 3 pm and he was done by 7 pm. He ended up having to have a quintuple bypass surgery (yep...5 arteries were clogged!). The surgery took about 4 hours. Dad looks good...he is asleep and still has a breathing tube. Mom and I are going to get dinner and will come back around 10 pm when they say he will be awake. They said the first 24 hours are the most critical...so we would continue to covet ALL your prayers!
The time as been precious...we had a wonderful time of prayer with his surgeon before he went in. We are praising the Lord for sparing my dad's life...and I will update more in the morning.
You can also go to www.carepages.com, fill out some information and then find my dad under "Pastor Bruce" so you can be updated a little bit more there.
Thanks again...God's peace that passes all understanding has truly guarded my mom and dad's minds (and mine) throughout the whole day!

So good to hear that the surgery went well. I will continue to pray for his recovery.
Much love, Lori
Thanks to you and your mom for keeping us all updated throughout the day. You have no idea how much we have all appreciated it. We pray that God will bless the time you have with your parents before you have to leave tomorrow. We send our love to all three of you!

I did write you a rather long and emotional note to you when I read your post regarding your dad...but I never saw it, so not sure if you ever got it! But I did want you to know that I feel your pain, and I've been praying for your family, especially your father.
Don't have a lot of time for more now, but may email you later...
I did want you to know that I tried to find your dad on the website you set up...but never could! :(
Thank you for the update...I must have checked it several times yesterday for any news. We'll continue to lift you ALL up in prayer!
Love you!
Ruth
Thanks for the update, Kristin! And glad to hear God's peace has kept you and your Mom during this day.
