Surgery

My dad is going in for back surgery tomorrow afternoon. Over the past several years, his back has just got really bad to where it has limited his activites. He can't stand for a limited time because it just puts too much strain on his back. He has been getting shots every 3 months, but they are no longer working. They ran some tests, and there are 2 discs in his back that have totally collapsed. The doctor is worried, but he is going to do everything he can to fix it.

We as a family are worried because it is a very risky surgey because of his heart problems. If he doesn't have the surgery, he could be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life or if he does have it, there may be a chance that he doesn't make it through the surgery. As you can tell we are torn between the 2 because we want him to have a better quality of life and be able to do the things that he enjoys doing...but then again we don't want to face things if something goes wrong.

Please, just say pray for him that all goes well.
Thanks!

I will keep you updated! :)
