Lisa and I were at dad's this morning at 5:00 am to help mom get him ready for his trip to the hospital. Today is the big day! It's 7:00 am while we wait in a private room until 9. The operation is scheduled for 11 am and they will be taking him back for the prep starting at 9. The operation will take approximately 6 hours.
A team of Tucson's finest doctors and techs has been assembled to work with Dr. Schroeder during surgery. They're drawing blood from dad at this moment and checking his vitals. Dad had to put down his morning paper for them to pick and poke him. He's more than ready to have this surgery over and done with. He wants to thank everyone for keeping up with his blog and appreciates all of the thoughts a prayers he's received from all of you. I will keep you posted throughout the day.
The entire Huerta and Murphy families are keeping your dad and your family in our prayers. Joel is VERY dear to all of us. We have really appreciated all of your updates...especially during such a challenging time. Thank you for taking the time to keep us posted. Please send Lisa and your mom our love!!! We will anxiously be awaiting your post-surgery updates. Your dad is in good hands...the surgeon's and God's.
