My dad had another heart attack last night. The first one was in May, 1994. My mother found him sweating on the couch and called for an ambulance. It turns out one of his arteries was 100% blocked. They did the catherization around 2 am this morning and it went well. The doctor told him he was good for another 5-10 years. He jokes that he is ready now, but we keep telling him God doesn't want him yet.
Tomorrow I will go and see him, and we will laugh and joke like always, but through it I will remember how lucky we are to still have him. He will be 77 in October, and I completely dread the day that the phone call will end differently. One day God will want him, but I really hope it's many, many years from now.
Please say a prayer for a quick recovery for my daddy!
About Me

- I am a SAHM to five wonderful children. We homeschool and we live to tell about it. I love to read, go out to eat, and love to shop; all of which I rarely get to do since the birth of our first child in 2000. My favorite food is food and because of this I need to lose weight. I am from a big family and enjoy spending time with my siblings.

How scary! Glad to hear he's okay.
Very scary -- 100%! But I'm glad they fixed him up! He seems to have a great faith. I wish I were closer to my dad that way.
