Everything's bigger in Texas

I am actually going back to Bakersfield today, but I am sitting in the waiting room with nothing better to do, so I thought it would update. My dad's surgery went well. He is still in ICU but will be moving into a room in a few hours. Yay! The doctors, nurses, everyone here at MD Anderson are wonderful. They are kind and extremely knowledgeable. The only pain my dad's in now is back pain, but they are working on it.

Anyway, my time here has been brief and stressful, but I will miss my parents. They should be returning to California at the end of the month, but we'll see how it goes. Until then, my mom will be in Houston by herself while my dad is in the hospital. I think some people are planning to come out and visit her, but we'll see. Please keep her and my father in your prayers.
