My Dad (in his 70's) was scheduled to have an artificial hip replacement fixed yesterday (this was a replacement for his previous artificial hip, which had worn out, the new one has slipped out of place and is causing him a lot of discomfort). When they put him under for the operation, his blood pressure dropped to almost zero, not enough to keep his circulation going and they were worried his heart was going to stop, so they gave him heart massage for about two minutes in the operating theatre before bringing him back up and putting him in the intensive care ward, where he still is now. There doesn't seem to be any brain or kidney damage caused by whatever happened, he still recognizes my mum, but the doctors aren't sure what caused the reaction (he's had lots of these type of operations without anything like this happening, both of his hips and knees are artificial) and they need to work out how to go about solving his problem (whether they should attempt surgery again), and if so, using what precautions. He's still in his same pain, and a bit distressed at what happened to him.
Please pray for healing for him, and insight and wisdom for the doctors.
