[Timothy R. Butler]

Some of you may remember from last summer that my father underwent 
quadruple bypass surgery. This week he has been experiencing numbness 
in his left arm and tightness in his chest... he is scheduled for an 
angiogram on Tuesday. Best case scenario is that it finds nothing, 
although given the present symptoms, that seems unlikely. Second best 
is that any blockages can be taken care of with an angioplasty while 
they are already "in there."

What's worrisome is that while they successfully did that nineteen 
years ago on my father, they had tried last summer only to decide 
bypass surgery was necessary. Worst case is that they would do another 
bypass -- the second of (as I understand it) two possible such 
surgeries during one's life. Not even considering the risk at hand 
during surgery, this would be bad also because such surgeries usually 
only last a maximum of a decade and a half or so, meaning that Dad 
would be in trouble down the road when he should be "due" for a second 
surgery.

If you can keep him in your prayers, that would be great.

	Thanks,
		Tim
