I almost lost my Dad today. At 5:30 pm my Dad suffered a massive heart attack. According to the heart surgeon he had an artery that was 100% blocked to his heart and another that was/still is about 50/60% blocked by a lesion and durring the angioplastis his heart actually slowed down and almost stopped a number of times, they had to hook him up to a pacemaker temporarily to keep him alive. The doctor told us that this was the big one in terms of sevarity, he suffered the most massive heart attack that a person can have without killing them instantly. My Dad is only 50 years old and in pretty good health,... or so we thought. Take care of yourselvs everyone, there are people in your lives that aren't ready to get rid of you just yet.

Thanks for the support guys. Just got home from the hospital, and Dad is doing better and they were able to remove the shunt. Hopefully he will be able to come home tomorrow or tuesday. Either way it isn't soon enough for him and hes pissed because now he can't go to Indy(we were supposed to be on a plane wednesday)Again thanks for the support.

Today is a good day! Dad got discharged from the hospital this morning. The Heart doctor/surgeon that worked on my Dad told him just how close he was to not making it and it was tough. Just wanted to say thank you again for the support.
