They found another aneurysm yesterday. It is smaller than the first and has not burst yet. But, they are going to perform the same prodedure that they did for the first one again.

The surgery was supposed to take place this morning, however, my sister and I woke up to a voicemail from my mother that they took him into surgery last night. I don’t know many details but apparently something was occuring that concerned them and they didn’t want to wait to perform the procedure. My sister was on her way to work and changed plans to head straight to the hosptial.

I’m at her house letting my kids breathe a little and play before we head back down there for another full day of waiting room sitting. Fortunately, despite the plane ride, the break from routine, the being away from home and all the hospital waiting room sitting, the kids are being remarkable. The waiting room is large and comfortable and I can plug in their portable DVD player so they can watch movies, they have room to run and stretch and they go for walks with grandma, too.

As for my step-dad, I really don’t know anything right now. When my sister talked to my mom at 6am he was still not back from the surgery. He was taken down around 12:30 last night I guess. I haven’t received a call from my mom or sis yet so I can only assume he is either still in the procedure or he is done and doing really well.

I hopped online to pay the mortgage and figured I would update while the kids are eating breakfast and playing.

Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts, again. We appreciate them very much.
