Dad Mahin Faces Outpatient Surgery

Tomorrow, October 22, 2009, Dad Mahin will be having outpatient surgery in Salina, Kansas, appointment time is at 9:30 AM. The dialysis port on his chest has been used for 3 years. Now the doctor is wanting to remove that port and install one in his arm. An arm port failed previously, so we are rather anxious about the proposed change. The chest port was supposed to be just a temporary one all along anyways. If an infection would have sprung up around that port, being so near in proximity to his heart and lungs, his life would have been endangered. So I guess I can understand why they would want to make the change. Please pray. We'll keep you posted.
