Thankful

Well I wanted to let u all know about my dad. Last night all I did was toss and turn.I arrived at the hospital this morning about 5:45 a.m. As soon as I walked into my dad's room he was all smiles to see me as he always is,and I was all smiles:). I have never seen my dad on the nervous, slight scared side. Nobody of course likes surgery. This is the first operation he has ever had besides a tonsillectomy.

Finally it was time for him to go down and I didn't cry gave him a hug and we exchanged some words and I told him that God was with him. Those were my last words to my daddy. I was the big parent now you see. My dad has always been there to love and care for me,so now it was my turn to comfort him.
We waited and waited until about 12:00 p.m. and the doc came in and told us that all went perfect. They said that he was the first to go to ICU in 5 years without the ventilator in his mouth. So Praise the Lord.:)They will be watching him closely all evening and tomorrow morning while he is in ICU. I seen him shortly after and I couldn't take much the first visit but then I went back and Shane got to see him too,and this time I was better. Yah, I know I am suppose to be tough because I am the nurse,well I failed slightly because when you see someone u love in PAIN you want to help them and for a moment I knew what is was like not to be able to do anything but pray. I was out of control and God was in the driver seat. That is where I believe God wants us to put him in our lives so he can lead,guide and comfort us. Thank you Lord for bringing my dad thru a successful surgery,your hand was upon him and it will continue to be. I am so thankful this evening. Thank you to all of you who prayed for my dad,those prayers from your heart helped him to do great,they were answered today. Please continue to pray that he has a great recovery. Have a great evening.Now I gotta figure out what's for dinner?
