Thank you everyone for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. My dad was released this afternoon and had an exhausting evening visiting my mom downtown. He arrived just after she was taken back for a heart cath. An hour later, the doc came out to update us. Mom will need open heart surgery.
She is scheduled for a triple bypass on Monday. In the meantime, she has a pump that is helping her feel much better and breathe more easily. Her doctor instructed my dad to go home and get lots of rest so that he is better able to care for my mom next week. My sister took Dad home with her so she could look after him.
Please continue praying for them both. Thanks a bunch. 4951
