update on GPaM

Well, the other day I mentioned Dan's dad was having a procedure done on his heart.  Evidently, when they got in there, they couldn't get done what they wanted & saw some other things that they decided needed more testing, so they stopped where they were.  Yesterday they did more tests & have decided early next week he needs to have a valved replaced/repaired to his heart & possibly some other work.  They think he'll do just fine, since otherwise he is in good health.  I think he's relieved to know what's wrong & that they have a plan to fix it.  Hopefully we'll get up to visit him over the weekend.  Lucky him, he got to see his new granddaughter Ashlyn for the first time the other day!  Dan says she's changing alot.  Keep Joe in your prayers... we appreciate your thoughts!
