My dad's operation has been successful, he undergo a revascularization surgery helps to restore blood flow to the heart. As he had blocked arteries with coronary artery disease and that cause the heart failure. He undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
PCI, also called angioplasty, uses a catheter to inflate a balloon inside the artery. So they were able to treat it well and free his arteries. The other arteries which is not that bad, he would be under life medication and regular checkups. Now they are treating his lungs as it was functioning very poorly. My dad has been a chain smokers for many years and he did not really heed to any of our advise. God is gracious to him and has granted his speedy recovery and time to think the meaning of life.
He was discharged from ICU and has been in a normal ward. All of my mum's family and friends has been visiting him daily. He is indeed surrounded with people who cares for him. At the same time he is going through sport therapy to strenghten his lungs and heart functions. He will be allow to fly home to Zurich on 28 January 09. We shall be all joining him on the second week of Jan 09 to accompany him home. So I will be in Bangkok at this time.
Thanks for praying and standing in the gap for me and my family
