My Dad

Hey everybody. They think my dad had a heart attack this morning. So please think good thoughts, send prayers his way. His name is Ron, he's a great guy. I am sick right now so I can't visit him except on the phone. But right now I can't get into the ER.

I'll let you know what's going on. But you guys are like family to me, so please keep my dad in your prayers and thoughts. THanks.

Thoughts, prayers and love.

My thoughts are with you Rick, and your whole family.

Update on my Dad- He had a blockage, he is in having and angioplasty as we speak. We won't know the extent of the damage yet. Thanks for praying.. keep it up!

Thank you everybody. Mom is pretty scared, but they are checking to see what is going on. He has had a couple of heart attacks years ago- and recovered. Now, with the new pace maker they thought all was going great, he was feeling awesome. Now they think that his artery is pretty badly clogged. If the angioplasty works, things should be ok, if it doesn't then more extreme measures will have to take place.

Man, no fun. My brother in law is with them at the hospital and my sister is heading that way. I would have already been there if I wasn't contagious. FRUSTRATING! But I can get many people praying and thinking good things towards him. That is good too.

Thanks again. I really appreciate my TSF family! :)

Ok, update: Dad is out of surgery- three blockages in his main artery- three stints put in and no damage to his heart. Thanks for praying. He goes home tomorrow. wow.

billybob476 · March 26, 2009, 04:56:18 PM

Glad he'll be home soon Rick. My dad has had heart complications in the past as well. It's a scary thing.

Good news! And a reminder......a healthy lifestyle is a CHOICE not a chore. Make it.

moyer777 · March 26, 2009, 05:31:55 PM

yep, it's a good choice too. He really has made some BIG changes. So I was kind of surprised by it. Mom and dad both eat very healthy and exercise-- but years and years they didn't. So I guess it does catch up with you. Crazy. This is the same artery that he had problems with 15 years ago.

Bryancd · March 26, 2009, 07:08:12 PM

It's never too late...but the early you start the better. I'm glad he's ok, Rick, all my best. :)

Jen · March 26, 2009, 08:20:02 PM

Ditto Rick. If you need anything don't hesitate to ring us. We'll continue to pray for your dad, your mom and your entire family.
