Latest update: surgery scheduled for 5pm today. Daddy is stable now that the ventilator is in. They had a time with that; he is not a complainer, this has evidently been going on for years, and his airway was only 3mm. He's not really aware that much of comings and goings, but my sister said she's feeling better about his situation. Will continue to update as I hear.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear what all you & your family have been going through.

It's good to know that a Dr has been located to do the surgery & that your
Dad is stable now. Prayers for a successful surgery & complete recovery.

You & your family will stay in my prayers.

Prayers that surgery is successful and that your Dad will be more aware - especially when he is able to take in more air. 3mm! Yow.

Prayers on the way for successful surgery!

They took Daddy in to surgery early (2:15), my sister just called me, he's in recovery!! The thyroid was so large it was pushed very far into the chest cavity; it, and the corresponding growths, is gone. The trachea, at this point, is still intact. He'll be in recovery for a few hours, on the ventilator until tomorrow, and then we'll reevaluate.

Thank you all for your prayers!

By the way, Candace, I know Phred helped out - how could he not? MY FATHER'S NAME IS FRED!!

OMIGOSH! I thought the surgery would be a lot longer...but thank God and Phred he made it!

I think he will be able to breathe much more easily - and getting more Oxi-Jen into his system is bound to help him perk up.

More prayers for continued recovery.
