Papa Mark

On Friday afternoon, I received a call from my Grandma Shirlee letting me know that my dad was in the ER with chest pains. After performing a heart cath, the doctors found two arteries that were 90% blocked and one 80% blocked. They decided it was necessary to perform bypass surgery. I packed all of our things late Friday night and we headed out early Saturday morning. Claire did great on the ride there.
Once in Memphis, we spent lots of time at the hospital visiting with my dad and family. On Monday, my dad had surgery. Dr. Powell was only able to do a double bypass since the third artery was so small. My dad is recovering and we are so thankful everything went well.

Thanks for the prayers!!
