need prayer

Hey all! I need a favor from you guys. I need you to pray specifically for my dad but also the family. About 4 or 5 weeks ago my dad had a doctors appt. and the doctore suggested he have a stress test done. So he did. He was also having hemroids and that is how the found out what he had. He has an aortic anyerism he wil have to have surgery (open heart surgery). He has an appt. with the surgeon on January 4 and then on the 6th he has another doctors appt. to do test and get him ready for the surgery. The surgery should be a month after his visit with the surgeon. When they found out about this, they thought that it was a 5.3 5.4 and it is a 5.8 and in one spot a 5.9. If it had been a 6 then he would have had to have surgery like that same week but since it was a little lower they said it was ok for him to wait. But he can't wait long becuase this could kill him if he doesn't have the surgery soon. The day after Christmas we had my family over(brothers and sister) and they(mom and dad) told us then because we were all together. I think it was hardest on my mom because she couldn't tell anyone because my dad didn't want us to know because they didn't know what was going on. It is a miracle that they found it now because it can kill you and you don't know you have it. I just ask you to keep us in prayer over the next couple months and I will let you know how everything is going. Thank you! Love ya!
