The Lord is the Master healer!! We went through some very emotional times this morning with my father-in-law. He was scheduled for gallbladder surgey at 8:00. When we got to the hospital his blood pressure was very high again so they gave him some meds to try to lower it. They did not take hold so they decided to take the risk that it was high from infection. The surgery was supposed to last 1 hour but lasted nearly 2 because of complications. When they made the first incision, it began to discharge pus, a sign of serious infection. They had to put a tube into the incision to keep it draining, it will need to be in for several days. They also have him in ICU for at least one day. We are hoping he can come home by Monday. We are so thankful that he is still with us. The doctor said if it had been much longer his gallbladder could have burst from all the inflamation and infection and that would have poisoned him. Keep praying for him and us as a family that we can be strong and stay healthy as well. It is very emotionally and physically draining not knowing for sure what to expect next. There is also a risk of infection for trying to clean out all the infection and such. I trust God will heal him so we can bring him home soon.
