On Tuesday, October 9, Bill's dad began to complain of dizziness, excessive sweating, and low energy. We encouraged him to call his doctor who gave him an appointment. At the doctor's office, an EKG showed a slightly irregular rhythm. The doctor sent dad to the hospital, expecting to schedule a stress test for the following morning.
At about 8:00 PM, dad started to experience severe chest pains. After taking 3 nitro pills and some other medications, the symptoms subsided a bit. Early on Wednesday morning the pain continued and was treated with the maximum dose of morphine. These developments canceled the stress test in favor of a catherization. The doctor installed a stint to open one artery which was 60% obstructed. We rejoice that he did not suffer a heart attack nor any damage to the heart.
On Thursday afternoon, dad came home and is resting for a few days before getting back to work. Please, pray for his complete recovery and that he will be able to lighten his work load.
