Okay Momma will give you all the big update about how my dad’s surgery went on her blog within the next day or two so I’m going to give you the short version.  All went well, surgeon said it went exactly as he hoped, dad will be pretty much out of it until morning and the first twenty-four hours are of the most concern.  Dad has been pretty ashy in color, but he is already pinking up a bit.  Thanks to all that asked!
