Dad's surgery went very well. It took place yesterday (Tuesday), late morning. Dr. Leathers performed the surgery. He said it was successful and that the rod went into place very well. Dad's arm had actually broken in the couple of days before surgery. Man! What a trooper! I can't imagine going around with a broken arm for a couple of days. And, my Dad never complains. If you ask him, he'll tell you the truth--that it hurts--but he is never complaining about it. Plus--his sense of humor never leaves him.

Mitch Ross from the Spruce Head Community Church, Donna Dancer from the South Somerville Baptist Church and Rev. Reinhardt from St. Bernard's Catholic Church all came in to Dad's room to pray with us. That was so special and meaningful, especially since we are currently without a pastor.

When Dad was being taken back into his room, he looked at my mother and winked at her. I lost it.

Prayers going up for Dana Reeves...
