Surgery...

Soooooo. Unfortunately Papa (my grandpa) has some blockage in his circular system and its to dangerous to remove so they decided the best option would be to graft a few of the veins from his arms and relocate them to help improve circulation to his legs. Surgery will be about 3-4 hours followed by 5 recovery days in the hospital.

Anyways... surgery starts at about 8 ish pst and any prayers would be appreciated!

Is his circulation improving? These kinds of peripheral bypasses usually have very quick results.

Glad to hear he's improving. I'm sure the infection will be easily treated.
