Hello friends, I am back again to ask for more of your beautiful prayers.

My father, about whom I've posted before (and again) is having his long-anticipated surgery tomorrow (9-12) at noontime.

His aneurysm has grown significantly and cannot be ignored any longer. This will be his second aneurysm - the first being removed last year. This one is in a very complicated area, close to his heart. They will need to stop his heart to complete the procedure.

Any and all prayers for my father, Paul Vincent, would be so very appreciated. He is 62 and needs to live a much longer, fuller life. The good news is, if the surgery is successful, he will be in really good health otherwise.

Also, if I could ask you to pray for his recuperation (8-10 weeks) *and* for my mother's strength and peace through all this.

I will be at the hospital all day tomorrow, but will post an update as soon as I can.

As always, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers and support. God bless you all!

Can I ask if he receiving the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick? It's such a blessing to receive before major surgery!
