good thoughts and prayers needed

Had an early call from my SIL this morning. Pop is back in the h ospital. HE had developed pneumonia after his last surgery and fluid was filling his lungs. They got it drained, but they are filling back up again, so surgery is scheduled sometime today. Sally is heading up to the hospital right now to see what is going on. Apparently he developed an infection from the last visit and the antibiotics aren't working on it.Basically, they have said that there is a good chance that he won't make it through this surgery. Sally and I are trying to prepare the boys (Norman and Ken) and I will probably have to be the one to call Kevin in CA to let him know, but this is their father that we are talking about and it's going to hit them really hard. Sally said that Pop has gone from a robust 210 down to a boney 137 and has basically just given up.Please keep the family in your prayers as we wait and see what is going on.Larisa
