More prayers for Papaw

Today Papaw (James's Dad) had surgery to have a fix the blockage in 3 different areas of his heart. After going through stress tests to make sure that his body can handle being under as long as it is going to take to rid his liver of the Cancer that was found and to reverse his colonoscopy (sp?) they found some blockage that needed to be taken care of before they could do anything else. He was in surgery for quite a while. They told Vicki (James's mom) that they tried several times and sizes of stints to open him up but had no success. They said that he isn't a candidate for open heart surgery again. From what I understand the back two chambers of his heart are complete dead. They explained that they are going to put him on some more medicine to see if that will rid him of some of the blockage to see if they can try again. We are, needless to say, disappointed. They told him to take it even easier than he has been and not do any strenuous activity. Would you please send some prayers up for Papaw to rid him of the blockage and heal him of the Cancer that they have found in his liver.
