Daddy's procedure went fairly well. He was bleeding from a major blood vessel in the cecum and the Dr cauterized it. Dr. said that if he has another bleed (which is common in this case) he will have to remove the remainder of his colon. (Daddy had surgery in '75 to remove a grapefruit sized benign tumor from his colon where 15 inches of the colon were removed.)

He is awake and alert but his BP is still very low. The hospital has 2 more units of blood for him, but they're waiting for a blood test to come back.

We are very blessed that when he fell, he did not break anything. The x-rays show that he has no discs remaining between the vertebrae in his back beginning at mid-back and continuing all way down. This has set up arthritis and the fall inflamed the arthritis.

I feel so lucky that he is still with us. The Dr. who did the procedure said that if we hadn't gotten him to the hospital when we did he would've bled out.

Thank you all, YT family for your prayers and well wishes. I love you all and wish I could hug each and every one of you.
