Thank God

Okay, I am going to try to match up to Casey's level of interesting. Just kidding!

I am going to go over yesterday, it was a huge day.

Well, I woke up at 5:20. A.M.! We had to be at the hospital at 6. We got there a little before. Then, after a while, my dad went back there. They started the surgery at about 7:25. At about 10:45 or so, the doctor came out and said the first part went well, they took part of three ribs, and part of the sternum. The first doctor's part was done. The second doctor put a material that they use in tents and space suits in the hole to keep everything intact, then they cut a chunk of muscle or whatever, flipped it up, and fit it in the hole where the ribs/sternum was removed. They discarded a little of the muscle. He went into recovery at 1:45. We could finally see him at about 4:30. We saw him, he was so drowsy. We gave him a code word because my pastor said he wouldn't rememeber anything. We [Chris, Michael, and I] went to the hotel, swam and stuff, ate, then went back at 7:45 to pick up my mom. We got there, talked to him, asked him if he remembered the code word. He remembered there was a code word, but couldn't remember it. The rest of my day [all two hours of it] was pretty boring. I went to bed at 10pm. In case you didn't do the math, we were at the hospital about 10 and a half hours, we were gone for one hour for a Wal-Mart run.

Well, that probably wasn't interesting enough, but I hope you didn't fall asleep while reading! lol

Thank you all for praying for my dad! It helped a LOT.

P.S. - All the Wal-Marts here [Wisconsin] are changing from the Snack Bar thing to a Subway inside. Is that happening in the Decatur one? I'm just curious. I miss you all! Can't wait to see you sometime.
