Hi everyone -
I know I am not the biggest poster on the site but I am feeling that I need the BPO family.
My father-in-law is in the hospital in Buffalo, NY, he had surgery on Thursday for a double bypass - this is his third bypass and we were told very risky - he came thru the surgery OK but has an infection that they can't find, there are so many complications :'(. They can't do the cat scan until they take out the heart pump and they can't do that until his heart is OK on its own. The doctors believe the infection is in the bowel and from what I understand if the bowel goes it is over...he is working so hard to get better and this could do him in. I was up in Buffalo (about 90 miles from my house) on Saturday and Sunday, then I came home Sunday night because he was doing OK - I was home less than an hour and got a call from my poor hubby who is SO strong but he was so upset I packed the kids back up in the car and off we went again. I just came home again (Monday night). It is such a see-saw; let me say that my FIL is not the healthies guy alive and this fight is taking so much out of him.
He is a lovely man (we have had a few differences but have worked things out). So please if you have a minute say a good word for my FIL - Phil.
Thanks so much for listening

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers they are truly appreciated.
So far everything is the same they are waiting to take out the heart pump so they can stabilize him enough for the CAT scan tomorrow. It is SO hard to see people you love hurting, my husband of course is nervous and sad and my 14 year old very sensative son is beside himself. Good ole FIL is still putting on a good fight!
Again, thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart!
