Mary Cecilia called this morning to say that her grandfather, Gene, does need surgery after all. They were wheeling him in this morning. Please keep him and all the family in your prayers.
Thanks!
Mary's Grand Father

my papap had his heart catherization this morning and they found out that 3 of his 4 vessels (or arteries or veins...cant remember which right now) are totally blocked and one of them is 50% blocked. he needs to have another open heart surgery but now they're not sure when or even if they can do it because he has to lose 200lbs before they can do anything major like that. 
please pray a lot for papap and grandma and all of us over the next few weeks or so.
thankyou

my papap had another heart catherization yesterday evening (weds) and they foudn out that the only vessle they could have used to open up more to make the blood flow better is closed more than they thought it was...so they're going to have to do a third heart catherization. they still want to do an open heart surgery on him but as i said before they can't do that til he loses 200 pounds. sigh

thankyou for all the prayers, my grandfather is doing better, he's supposed to be coming home either today or tomorrow....from what i heard, he's going to have to go to a cardiac rehab program often after he's home so he can lose the weight and get in shape so that they can determine after his required 200lb weight loss wether they still need to do an open heart surgery.

he just got home yesterday, and is now in a nursing home for rehab... please keep praying...he's doing better, but please keep praying that after he gets out of the nursing home he won't get back into his old routines and bad habits, that he keeps his word and loses the weight and gets in better shape. thanks again!
