Update on Amy's Dad

Just a quick update on Amy's dad:
Yesterday was a day spent at Piedmont Hospital in ATL for Amy's dad's surgery for colon cancer that had spread to his liver. The surgery started at 8:15 am and lasted until 5:00 pm or later. The Great news is that the doc was able to remove the cancerous part of the liver and he believes there is enough of the healthy liver left to regenerate itself. There is no sign of cancer in Lynn at this time.
Pray - We are not sure if the liver has or will return to normal function
Pray - Lynn's surgery was EXTENSIVE and there was a great deal of blood loss - as a result, there has been great difficulty in maintaining a safe blood pressure
Pray - Lynn is still on the ventilator
Lynn is far from out of the woods on this one - while we have great praises, he still has great needs, so please pray with us for him.
