UPDATE

Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts for my one and only brother and only sibling.  He is resting well and is scheduled to be released from the hospital tomorrow.  He was lucky he was in the office of his doctor when he suffered his heart attack and was rushed quickly to the hospital.  He received one stint on Wednesday to a 98% blocked artery.  He is going to be scheduled for two more stints to be inserted in a couple of weeks for the other blockages.  At this time we feel lucky that he made it through this ordeal and is not any worse than it was.  He is in shock that he had a heart attack, thinking he had nothing to worry about there.  Well, that is the case we really never know do we?  Our mother has a heart stint and I think it is amazing he did not think we had a problem in our family.  I think because our father did not have a heart problem gave him a false sense of security.   I think this is a wake up call for us children and that now we know it can happen to any of us.  I pray for his continued speedy recuperation and a long life ahead of him.

  5. It is good to hear your brother is doing well after such a scare and the serious procedures he's had done. Boy..what a thankful group you all must be to have had his heart attack happen in a Dr.s office. I believe there is always a blessing attached to everything that happens to us. My husband had a double bypass 4 years ago and iam so thankful he never suffered a heart attack. My prayers are with you and your brother.

  6. Oh, I am so glad he is going to be okay, KT! Very scary, indeed. My grandmother passed away from a heart attack and I worry about my dad sometimes. Luckily he works hard to take really good care of himself, but heart disease is so prevalent.
    Sending warm thoughts to your family during this time!
