Prayer Request for Dad

Some of you may remember from last summer that my father underwent quadruple bypass surgery. This week he has been experiencing numbness in his left arm and tightness in his chest… he is scheduled for an angiogram on Tuesday. Best case scenario is that it finds nothing, although given the present symptoms, that seems unlikely. Second best is that any blockages can be taken care of with an angioplasty while they are already “in there.”

What's worrisome is that while they successfully did that nineteen years ago on my father, they had tried last summer only to decide bypass surgery was necessary. Worst case is that they would do another bypass — the second of (as I understand it) two possible such surgeries during one's life. Not even considering the risk at hand during surgery, this would be bad also because such surgeries usually only last a maximum of a decade and a half or so, meaning that Dad would be in trouble down the road when he should be “due” for a second surgery.

If you can keep him in your prayers, that would be great.
