Thoughts and Prayers for my dad....
As most of you who are regulars are aware, over the last couple of years since I moved back to Missouri, I have been working on my relationship with my father. So far, everything has been going so well for us, and I have never felt closer to him than now.
Monday was supposed to be a pretty nice day, as my wife and I made a bid on a house that the sellers accepted without much hassle..unfortunately, about 15 minutes after agreeing to a mutually acceptable price on the house, my stepmother called to say that my father had suffered a heart attack which also led to a stroke. I put the Tacoma in the wind headed west and arrived at the hospital about the time they got him to his room. What i found out was that he had a heart arrhythmia (sp?) which led to a back-up of blood in the heart causing blood clots to form in the heart. One of the clots broke loose and went to his brain causing the stroke. Fortunately, they managed to catch the stroke in time and kept it from having long term affects.....they have him on a heparin drip to dissolve the blood clots and are giving him coumadin to thin his blood. They are going to keep him in the hospital for a couple of more days to monitor his progress. They are going to release him to continue to taking coumadin and are going to bring him back in a month. When they bring him back in, they are going to put him under and "shock" his heart to try and bring it back to a normal rhythm. If that fails, they will resort to putting in a pacemaker to hopefully resolve the issues. I would like to ask everyone to remember him and my family in your thoughts and prayers....the doctors have done a great job of helping him to this point, but there is still a ways to go. There is still much more that I want to do with him..... Thank you..... mmaddog ******* |

You got it. My mom had 2 heart surgeries in the last year or so trying to get rid of the same thing and she still has it. That surgery is supposed to be pretty successful but it didn't work for her. It's a new proceedure so ask about it.

Maddogg..prayers were just said and I will add you guys to the list.
My grandmother in is in NKC hospital right now with almost the same thing. Her heart was out of rhythm too, they shocked her, then went out of rhythm again due to 3 blockages. They put stents in to keep the arteries open. She then suffered 2 strokes in as many days. I will be headed up there again tomorrow to visit her. Please keep her in your prayers as well.
