Please, a healing prayer.
 

Hey guys.... I don't want this to come out sounding sympathy trollish, but my dad is going in for major surgery today over at Cedars-Sinai (I'm heading over to the hospital right now) so whatever gods/goddesses/major and minor deities you pray to, if you could please keep my dad Len Levy in your healing prayers today I would be most appreciative. I know he's in good hands there but it's still scary since it's a 4+ hour complicated surgery, and any little thing helps.

Thanks so much guys! No need to post anything else to this thread, like I said, I don't want to be sympathy trolling here.

No worries, your dad will be in my prayers.

ditto....

Mine too (you and the rest of your family as well).

Hardly trolling. I, for one, appreciate the heads-up so's I can have my healing thoughts honed and directed.

Best wishes and all my prayers and healing thoughts to your dad.

What they said!

/hugs!

You can add my prayers to the list, too. Keep yourself in a calm space and report back when you can. Rooting for you and your Dad, take care.

We'll be praying for your dad, and your whole family.

Give us a call if you need anything.

<hugs> and positive thoughts from FL

Thoughts of success and recovery for your dad, you, and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with your father, family and you. Positive healing vibrations are headed your way.

No sympathy-trolling here, just sympathy, my dear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

good thoughts are a flowin'

Lots of prayers flying your dads way from here...I know that's what got Missy thur her crisis last year....storming the heavens from all sides of the mountain for you all.

You and yours have my good thoughts today. Do update us when your dad is in the clear? Fingers and toes crossed for you and your family.

My thoughts are with you both. Wishing him well....

*hugs* I know in the long run this will make your dad's life better, even though it has a long recovery time.

Oh, and you might want to look up Sari while you're there. She's a nurse... possibly over in the ER, I can't remember.

I'm thinking of you and your dad Cherny.

Best Thoughts.

And from Downunder too. {{hugs}}

Prayers are coming from Florida.

Surgery sucks. Hope all is well and prayers are going up from Phoenix.

Awwwwww guys you really didn't have to post anything but I'm really overwhelmed, thanks so much for all of the positive energy today -- I just got home from the hospital and my dad is going to be okay (5 and a half hour surgery, yeeeeeeesh). I was actually able to talk to him for a few minutes (in a morphine-induced state, he can hit that little button as often as he wants, lol). He has a long road of recovery (and a second surgery in two months), but today was the biggie.

Again, thanks my special friends here on the LoT -- it really is wonderful to know such compassionate human beings. I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer, and know that yours today were answered in the positive!! Many hugs and much gratitude all around :) :) :)

That is wonderful news! I'm so glad you got to talk to him even if it was under the influence...keeping him and you in prayer thru the road of recovery!

I'm glad he's going to be ok, but I'm jealous of the morphine drip. ;)

So sorry I didn't see this sooner, Cherny. Matthew and I will continue to keep your dad and family in our thoughts. We're glad today went well.

I missed this earlier, but prayers will continue for healing for your dad and your family.

Oh, and that morphine drip button totaly rocks! Of course I would have prefered not to have the surgery, but that little button got me through!

Here's to a speedy recovery!
Hang in there, Cherny.
:) :) :)

Best wishes to your dad for a speedy recovery!

Healing vibes from me and B! That's great news about your dad Cherney!

Great news to wake up to Cherny!

You take care and same goes for your Dad!

Hugs and healing thoughts to you and your dad. Morphine, yeah!
