Thanks to all who shared positive thoughts. My son came through the procedure with flying colors and hungry.
3 blocked arteries, 1 @ 100%, 1 @ 95% and one at 75%. The Dr said it was very serious, if he had not mentioned difficulty breathing during his physical last week he would not have lasted much longer. The total blockage had already started healing by making new paths with smaller arteries. They did a stent on the 75% one which is the one that supplied blood to the heart muscles and there was no damage to the heart. They put him on meds to remove the plaque on the 3rd artery. He sees the Doc in 6 weeks. He is on light duty for the next 5 days.
He wants out of the hospital so can go crappy fishing.
I told him you folks had sent prayers for him. He said thanks to you guys.
And I too say thanks.
I'm in bit of a funk. Two days ago my son called saying he just came back from the Drs office and testing. 3 bad blocked arteries at the heart valves. Surgery this coming Monday.
My only son is an outstanding father and person. He is a hard worker, he manages a large injection plant. He was in the Marines and did the original Desert Storm to free Kuwait. For those of you that remember it was on the tube 24/7 start to end. I had trouble sleeping and watched too much of it. I did see him on a newscast after it was over, he was asleep on the hood of a Hum Vee. From the time they went through the breach that was the first time I knew he made it. I slept that night.
My son is 45 and now I have to watch this. I know he will be ok.
This isn't for me, it is for my son. If any one has a word to say for him please do. He was a good Marine, he is a great father and son. Thanks, Aggie.
