My Dad's Surgery

My dad will have his surgery to remove the esophagial cancer on Thursday, August 28th. It is a five-hour surgery. They will remove the cancer and then most of his esophagus, leaving a small amount at the top. They will then stretch his stomach to make a new esophagus and join it at the top. It is a very complex surgery. Please pray that his lungs will remain clear, that no pneumonia will set in, that he will not need chemo or radiation, and that both of my parents and all of our family will have peace and be comforted throughout the surgery and the recovery. Thanks so much for your prayers!
