I went to the doctor with my dad on Wednesday. There was a little misunderstanding and he again had not reviewed the films from his CT scan to tell us if he is a candidate for a stent. He said he would call by Friday to let us know. In the meantime, my dad was conflicted on which option he wanted to take. He wants it out, but it's a major surgery. On the other hand, the stent just puts a band-aid on the problem, which he would probably have to deal with later, but the procedure is much easier.

Well, I guess a decision was made for him. The doctor called and he is not a candidate for a stent. He has to have the surgery. Thank God he got the cardiac clearance, because that would have been really bad if he couldn't have the surgery either. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. He will be having surgery after the holidays.
