God can change our hearts in more ways than one

Wow! What a week this has been! Dad had triple bypass sugery on Tuesday after going to the emergency room on Sunday morning. He had been having a progressive heart attack all the previous night. I thank God for the many blessings He has given us during this past week. So many friends have stood by us, bringing us meals and sending us flowers, and so many people have helped speed Dad's recovery with thier prayers. Thanks to all of you who were praying! Dad is still in the hospital, but should be coming home in a couple of days. Right now the main concen is the infection in his arms due to an I V that was left in too long. Please pray for a quick healing on that one as well.
I want to share with you a special miracle that God gave us. For a while now Dad has had severe blockage in two of his main arteries (there are three). When he got to the hospital, the tests showed that two arteries were completely blocked and the third was almost 90% blocked. The whole left side of his heart was stopped from flowing, except that the right side of his heart grew veins over to the left side. That is what kept him alive. Thank you Jesus!
Again, I appreicate your prayers so much. Once again God has showed me how much He cares and I am truly blessed by our many friends who have come to the rescue this week.
