Prayers needed please!

Just when life seems to be going smoothly and all seems well something will come along and throw you for a curve! My step father found out a couple weeks ago he had an Aortal aneurysm, it was small so they weren't too worried about it. Well yesterday he had a CT scan done as on a prior one there was something by his bladder and they needed to see what it was. He got very sick and in severe pain yesterday afternoon and my mother took him to the ER last evening. They had not gotten the results of the CT scan back yet so they did another and it showed he had another larger aneurysm there by his bladder and it had ruptured. Of course our local hospital sends all *true* emergencies to Erie or pittsburgh so they flew him to Erie. My mom was too shook up to drive (it's an hour and 20 min. away) and it was snowing so I had to have my husband come home from work to drive her up. He was in surgery 4 hrs. and I just got word that he is out and in recovery. He will be up there for a week and they also found his arteries are like lead pipes, in terrible shape. He had a quad. bypass on his heart several yrs. ago and they were not in good shape then.. Please send a prayer or some good thoughts his way for a quick recovery, they said he was very lucky he didn't bleed to death and that he came through the surgery as it is a very risky one. My son and him are very close, he is the only *grandpa* he has ever known.
