Dads heart surgery (Chuck Pryor)

My Dad was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm about 9 years ago and until recently it has been very slow growing. Unfortunately his cardiologist noticed a very large spike in it's growth and size over the last 6 months. My Dad was given the news that it has grown to a dangerously large size and due to the fact that it could rupture surgery is no longer an option. The Dr has advised that without surgery to repair this he most likely would not live through the year. He has had all of his pre-op tests done and is just waiting for a call from the surgeon with the date for his surgery.

Thankfully it looks as if his insurance will cover all of the surgery costs. I have started this campaign to help supplement money for bills, food and the loss of Julie's income since she will need to take time off work to stay at home during his recovery. They will be spending a great deal of money on gas since they live in Ridgecrest and the surgeon is in Orange. There might even be lodging expenses for Julie since my dad will be in the hospital for 1 week after surgery.

We will be very grateful for whatever amount you can give. You can give anonymously or with your name on this secure site with your debit or credit card.

Most of all please continue to pray for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery for my Dad.
