God's good people are everywhere I've come to believe.

Indeed!

I'm happy your Dad is holding his own (with help ... =) Please keep us posted.

My father had a good day today. He was awake long enough to understand from the doctor that everything was successful.

There was a funny moment when the doctor was trying to see how aware my father was. The doc asked him who the President was, and Da said, "Long as its not Clinton I'm happy." Everyone had a good laugh.

Because he's still in enormous pain, he is under very heavy sedation to give his body a better opportunity to mend.

God bless you all for your prayers and your kind words about my father. My mother wanted me to thank all of you for your prayers for Da and our family. It is wonderful to experience the communion of saints right here.
