Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Dear Janet, Your father, you and your entire family are in my thoughts and my prayers. As I read your post tears came to my eyes. Thoughts of my own father passed through me. I lost my dad 20 years ago to an inoperable brain tumor. Its still hurts. Best wishes for your father to make a full recovery.

My sister did CPR until the emergency crew arrived and it took them some time to get his heart started again. They did get it started and his vitals relatively stable so they took him by ambulance to a nearby hospital. At that hospital, they did a CT head scan and chest scan which showed no blood clots, however they couldn't do one procedure due to elevated levels of something that is related to his diabetes. So, they flew him by helicopter to another nearby hospital and called in the heart cath team. The team inserted a heart cath and found a 95% blockage in one of his arteries. We were all astounded as he had just had his heart stress test done not too long ago. After quite some time, they were able to position a stent. So that's good so far, as the doctor at the first hospital said the situation was dire meaning he had a slim chance of making it. Now the most critical part is the next 48-hours to determine whether he has had any neurological damage due to his heart stopping. My Mom, all of us kids and pastor were at the hospital all night. We will now take turns on shifts being at the hospital over the next 2- days. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY DAD, specifically that all of his neurologic function is there and that his heart keeps working and he doesn't have any complications. He had not woken up since the heart attack which is very stressful. As you can imagine, I am so sad and worried; I am beside myself. Janet B. --------------------------------- How low will we go?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thank you to everyone for your prayers. My Dad is stable for the most part but hasn't woken up. The doctors are concerned about neurological damage but says we need to give him more time to know what is really going on. His first EEG was not promising but they will do another on Monday. I am supposed to start chemo in 2 weeks and I cannot imagine or BEAR the idea of doing chemo without my Dad. My Dad is my rock. Please please continue to pray for stable vitals and healing of all of his neurological functions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Janet B.
