My Dad...

has appendicitis. I found out tonight a few hours after they took him in. They didn't know for sure for a while, but they are sure now, and are taking him in for surgery tonight. Depending on whether or not there is infection, he could be in the hospital for a couple of days to a week. Apparently, appendicitis is not usually a big deal as long as the appendix has not ruptured, so he should be fine, but just pray for him, and the doctors. The the surgery goes/went well, and that no complications have occurred.
