Updates from Singapore

I wanted to provide some updates on my dad's condition.  Thank you to those of you who have been praying for him!

So, the surgery was not a 100% success.  I am still not very clear exactly what that means but I guess his condition was not reversed after surgery.  After consulting with the doctors, the decision was made to keep him in the hospital a few more days and carry out a defibrillator procedure on his heart.  My dad had gone through a similar procedure at the end of 2006 and it too was not successful in reversing his heart beat.  Anyway, I am told they want to try it again to see if it will work along with the what was done in surgery.

I know my dad just wants to go home and be done with this but I think it is good they have decided to exhaust the medical options before giving up.  Please continue to keep him in your prayers and also for the rest of our family.  Thank you!
