Out of Surgery (once) Out of Surgery (twice)!

It's been a busy morning! Dad did well during his first surgery today. Yep, you got that right! His first surgery... And he did well during his second surgery.

After Dad's first surgery, he developed a hematoma that needed repaired. Dr. Dilley, his surgeon, said that there was a pencil sized artery that started bleeding after they closed him up. He went in snipped it, burned it, and cleaned everything up in there and Dad did just fine. Good thing they went back in because Dr. Dilly said there was no way it was going to stop on its own.

Dr. Dilley also said that he went in just went ahead and did the other carotid artery! "Oh, that's great!" we exclaimed. Then he laughed and said "Just kidding!" Okay, payback is ****! It's usually the Chamberlin's messing with the staff at the hospital but this time they got US!

Have a great day and rejoice! First thing Dad and I did this morning was sing "This is the day that the Lord has made" in our usual off tune voices. We are rejoicing and are glad in it!!
