Getting Released Today!!

Pops is going to be released today. Yipee! While we are waiting for the doctor to do his last rounds, we got the pleasure of a visit from Orion the therapy dog. He definitely brought smiles to all of our faces. Thank you to all of the friends and family that have come to visit or reached out to our family, we appreciate it more than you know! He's going to have to take it easy for the next few weeks and luckily their ward is providing dinners this week. He's definitely excited to get home!

After Surgery

Pops had his angiogram and they were able to place two stents in one if his main arteries. He has another that is blocked 100% and they are unable to replace it. The doctor feels confident that he will be back to normal with two main arteries fully functioning. He probably won't be released until Monday. He's going to rest for today but if you'd like to visit you can come tomorrow to Jordan valley hospital. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers!

And Now Pops...

Yesterday I took my dad to his Doctor appointment because he was feeling very light headed and queasy when he would walk. They took his vitals and immediately sent him to the E.R. There they did some testing and found out that he had had a heart attack. They admitted him for more testing and to monitor him. Luckily last night was uneventful although he wasn't able to sleep much. Today they did an echo test which concluded that he has an issue with his heart. We're not sure if it's another artery blocked (he had double bypass surgery about 14 years ago already) or if its something that might be able to be fixed with a stent. They are going to do an angiogram tomorrow morning to find out more and if it is something that they can fix with a stent they will do that while they're already in there. I took mama to the hospital to see him today as it is very hard for her to not be there with him 24/7. We're going in tomorrow morning to be with him when he goes into testing and I will update once we get some results. Everything so far has led to the conclusion that there is an issue with his heart but they have yet to find out exactly what is causing it. Please pray for our family!
Today the roles were reversed...
