Please Pray For My Dad

I come to you all with a heart heavy with thankfulness and concern. My Dad had a heart attack early Saturday morning (yesterday). He is currently in the cardiac unit in a hospital in Somerset, KY. One of his arteries to his heart was completely blocked by a blood clot. That was removed this morning. Thank God for wisdom of doctors because if not for that, my Dad would not be alive right now. He was told if he had waited two more days to come to the hospital he would not have lived. Another artery is narrowing and will have to be cleared in a few weeks. The surgery today was done with a heart cath which required making a small opening in his leg. This opening has been bleeding all day. The nurses can not get it to stop because of the blood thinners required due to the clot which caused the heart attack. My dad is now medicated due to the pain of the special "pressure dressing" now needed to attempt to stop the bleeding. This is causing him more pain than did the heart attack. Please pray specifically that God would cause this opening to stop bleeding. Pray for my mom, she needs peace and comfort. Pray for my Dad, he needs healing and strength to recover. Thank you all for being there for my family.
