On September 5, my father had heart valve replacement and bypass surgery. Unfortunately, there were some serious complications and he has been in the ICU in critical condition since. He has been outfitted with a trach and is on the ventilator. He is also receiving intermittent dialysis. He is alert and responding to commands. He continues to get stronger every day.
My family is grateful for the incredible doctors and nurses at the Cleveland Clinic, as well as everyone for your prayers and support. Once again, I am extremely overwhelmed and humbled by the healing power of prayer. Please continue to keep my father in your prayers.
Fortunately, before he went into the hospital we were able to celebrate his 80th birthday a few days earlier. It was a wonderful time which everyone enjoyed.
Stand Strong!
Scott
Scott – I’m praying for your dad to make it through this. I know that Felix is the luckiest and proudest father in the world to have you as his son.
I’ll add your dad’s name to my daily prayer list.
I also pray every Tue, at the chapel at ST. Joe’s, you BOTH in our prayers.
My hubby Don was in the same condition,and the doctors prounounced him”not going to make it! WELL HE DID! He is doing the best he can now THANK OUR LORD. I told GOD if he live through this I would pray each day…And I do!
GOD BE WITH YOU ALL+
I have been thinking of Felix and your family and praying for strength. Love you –
Prayers to you and your family. Stay strong! God bless!
Oh, Scott, I’m so sorry to hear this. Prayers for your Dad and for your entire family for strength and endurance during this difficult time. (as you know), My family went through the exact same thing with my mother. The Peace of Jesus be with you all. God Bless! Jody

I am saddened to know that Felix is not in good health. My prayers are for his recovery. Felix an I were in a group of young men that hung around at CLS for four wonderful years. Again wishing Felix the best.
Praying for your dad, Scott. If I can do anything for you, let me know. I am not that far away.
In your words Scott. Stand strong. Thinking about you and your family at this difficult time. Big hugs.x
Praying your Dad will get stronger and being surrounded by a loving family is healing. God Bless

I’m so sorry Scott. This is the first I’m hearing of this. I really hope your father gets well. I don’t know what to say except I know he’s a strong man with a great family to really fight for. I’ll pray and keep him in my thoughts and please let me know when and if he wouldn’t mind a visit. I have a pic of your dad at one of your fund raisers at Around The Corner in Lakewood. I’ll send it to you.
Please let him know I’m praying for him and all of you are in my thoughts.
I hope you’re well, please don’t hesitate to call me for anything, I’m always here brother.
