Praise the Lord!!

Here are Banks and Pawpaw at one of Hayes' soccer games. Pawpaw went to the doctor two weeks ago because the noticed that he was tireder than normal. The doctor did some test and scheduled a heart cath. Well, when they got in and examined his heart...they foudn three blockages...so next step..triple bypass surgery. He went into the hospital TUesday (after Thanksgiving) for the surgery. We all went to Greenville. After about a 5 hour surgery and a phone call from the nurse that there were really 4 blockages, Pawpaw got out of surgery with quadruple bypass surgery. He came through GREATLY! The surgerons said that his "insides" looked like that of a 55 year old (He is 82!!) He has been in ICU since the surgery just for monitoring but is doing remarkably well. We know the reason is because all of the prayers people were saying for our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You will never know how much it means to our family. Hopefully, Pawpaw will be in his own room soon then come home to recover. BJ has been so strong through all of this. Next April (I think) they will celebrate 59 years together. Thank you BJ and Pawpaw for being such a role model for all of us. We love you very much.
