Big Day!

After Dad's catheter was removed last night, he was able to walk around his hospital room a bit, sit in the chair for awhile, and even eat a small meal.

Laxative cocktail, preparing for surgery the next day.

All he's missing is an umbrella in that drink!

He's just been taken to pre-op for his endograft procedure... three hours earlier than they told us yesterday! He's in good spirits, we all got a good night's sleep and we're optimistic for the outcomes today. They are telling us he should be through the procedure and back with us within a few hours. (Around noon PST)

We'll be waiting in the surgery waiting room until then. I'll post as soon as we hear something!
