In a Heartbeat

My dad is in the hospital having his second pacemaker put in. He had the first one three years ago, after a quadruple bypass. Lately he has had dizzy spells and can't seem to catch his breath. His doctor said he would benefit from an upgraded pacemaker. He found out about this Tuesday, and had the procedure done Friday.

He is still in hospital, having suffered extensive bleeding overnight. He is receiving a transfusion right now, and they say he could come home tomorrow.

If you're the praying sort, please put in a good word or two for my dad. He could use it.

We'll be praying for your father and your family - it sounds like he's in good hands, but we'll definitely keep him in our thoughts!
