Bilateral carpal tunnel isn't that uncommon, particularly in those who use keyboards (of either sort!), but remember that it can be treated, often without resorting to surgery if it's caught early enough. I've still got to be careful about not overdoing it at the computer, and still wear my wrist braces when I'm typing, but I can play the piano unhindered; there are also CTS treatment programs out there tailored specifically to musicians. So there's hope yet.
Glad you're getting things sorted, and hope you and your father both feel better soon!
