Prayer Request...

I guess I'm probably writing this a little late, but my grandpa is going in for surgery tomorrow (Monday) morning. He was born with Marfan's Syndrome, which makes him more susceptible to other problems, such as aneurysms. A few years ago he had triple by-pass heart surgery. He survived that well, coming out with a defibulator (pacemaker) to keep his heart beating at the proper rate. They kept an eye on him and found a few more aneurysms that need to be dealt with. The most severe one is on his thigh. Apparently this surgery will be more critical than the heart surgery he had previously. He basically has a 50-50 chance of surviving. If they don't do the surgery the aneuryism will basically burst (tear the vein) and he'll die. That could happen at any given time. He's at peace with whatever the outcome will be. He just had his 73rd birthday, so he's not that old and we'd like to have him around a bit longer. :) We would appreciate all your prayers! We know that whatever the outcome is, it is all in God's hands. Thank you!
