Update
Yesterday approximately 1 PM, they took my dad in for the surgery. Surgery was about 8 hours long. Even an hour before surgery, he had 100+ degrees of fever. I was very nervous. But fortunately, everthing was okay. The surgeon (who is the chief of all the cardio-vascular surgeons) was able to successfully do the Triple Bypass and replace the Mitral Valve. When he open my dad up, he saw about 2 litres of blood/fluid in his both lungs. Every time his heart pumped, leaking valve dumped small amount of blood into the lungs.
Right now he is in Surgical Intensive Care. We have to watch him carefully and see how he progresses. He is still in pretty critical shape. So, keep praying. I'll update you guys soon.
