"Boss" not doing well

Hi everyone...My name is Amanda and my father runs the blog here. Unfortunately, "boss" as you know him as had to be taken to the hospital early this morning and is in the ICU at Christ. I will spare you the details but looks like he will be in there for some time. We have been in and out all day and one of the things he wanted me to do was make sure you all knew he wasnt abandoning you. In fact, he is going in for surgery tomorrow morning and once he is well enough I will be bringing him a lap top to touch base. Hope I got the picture thing right, he said no one will read it unless there is a picture (he would have surely wanted something a little more offensive but I had to draw the line). So thanks for understanding, your prayers are appreciated and I will update you all whenever I get a chance. thank you. Amanda

UPDATE: Surgery postponed. Several tests run today, all very inconclusive. Dad is in and out, pretty medicated up but makes good sense for alot of the day. Still in good spirits, but just not himself. Docs here have been wonderful, but looks like they are gonna transfer him tomorrow (or is it today?? I dunno; everything is just running together!) Either to U of C, Loyola or Northwestern, still waiting on his insurance to call back. Looks like he is bound for a specialist, and then surgery but not until after the tests come back with some news, good bad or other. Thanks for all the prayers and kind words. Ill update you as I get a chance. Dad says thanks to all. What a nightmare. In his words "OPEN POST---NOW GET TO BLOGGIN!"

UPDATE: Moved to a great facility. Surgery tomorrow. Tests basically showed what they suspected. Gonna be a long, tedious procedure...said he may be under upto 14 hours... another sleepless night here... Thanks again, everyone... Ill let ya know the outcome.

UPDATE: More surgery.not really sure how this is going to end up. Already had 2 surgeries, more tomorrow and more questions than answers. your prayers are appreciated
UPDATE: Dad is out of surgery and the prognosis is pretty good the docs are saying. Still not awake yet, but we are keeping fingers crossed. Thanks again for all the support. I will let him fill you all in when he is up and at em. I have my lap top in his room so as soon as he is strong enough Im sure he will be updating all his 60655 family!
