Well, the news isn't as good as I had hoped. The surgeon thought the cardiologist had done the stress test and he hasn't. She wasn't happy with that. She doesn't think it will matter though as she feels Dad's health isn't strong enough for surgery and recovery She doesn't think he would die from surgery but that quality of life would not be good afterward - could be in hospital or nursing home.

He has until Jan to decide but it sounds like they are ready to just live out life as well as possible. He will have 6 months (maybe even 1-2 years) to live is her best estimate. He seems at peace with it for the moment. knowing it's all in God's time and he will be with Mom again Heaven. Thanks for your prayers - they mean so much to our family.

I'm pretty shook about it as this was not what I was expecting.
