Triple Bypass for Father's Day

On 10 June my birthfather, Chuck, went to the VA hospital to have his left arm looked at because it was hurting. He had also been having chest pains and his blood pressure was high. Over the past few days they were able to determine that he has clots and that he had a heart attack. Three chambers of his heart are blocked. The blockages are 100%, 95%, and 75% so they have scheduled a triple bypass surgery on Monday, 16 June, the day after Father's Day. My sister is currently on a tour with the Navy, but is scheduled to come home ASAP because of our dad's condition. Everyone please keep him in your thoughts.
