I've been in constant contact with my siblings back east. Dad's surgery went much better than expected. Turns out that the blockage was due to... (gee, flashback to 1996)... abdominal adhesions. The surgeons were able to fix the problem WITHOUT having to remove any intestines. He came out of surgery and recovery okay, and is currently in ICU. He was intubated and was on a breathing machine for a couple days, and has subsequently been taken off of those devices.
He's not out of the woods yet. He has fluid in the lungs (though it has gotten better since before the surgery), and the doctors want to make sure this doesn't turn into pneumonia.
Thank you all for the prayers and well-wishes. They have not gone unheard by God, and they have been much appreciated by me and my family!

Thanks for the updates! New in this neighborhood- Will pray for your dad & family. (From my experience, Italian folks tend to have some great ones!) Also, thanks for the GKC show tip!
