Can I please have your prayers & positive thoughts for my Dad?
 

:rose:I just got home from my parents house with some bad news. :( My dad had another Doc appt today for a stress test and an echocardiogram. The results are he has to have another stent put in possibly 2. They are waiting for Akron General (Hospital) to call and give him the time to come up. It will be within 48 hours :( Dad had a heart attack in January of '08 and it was assumed that he had 2 other ones in December of '07. In Jan he had 3 stents put in and they docs were hoping that would work as he had 90% blockage in 2 arteries. He followed through with his 3 mos of cardio therapy, very strict heart healthy diet, ect. followed 100% of his cardiologists orders. But apperently that didn't do the trick. My Mom didn't want to talk about it in front of Dad to not upset him anymore, so I only know very few details, but I have a feeling there is more than I have been told :( Dad is only allowed to sit in a recliner with his feet up, no solids, take vitals every 30 minutes and only to be up to use restroom until they call requesting him to head to the hospital.:(
:hands:So please, if anyone could spare my Dad some prayers and positive thoughts it would be very much appreciated by my family and I.
My Daddy is my world, I am the biggest Daddy's girl I know:wub: The thought of him going through more heart related surgery scares me to death, he had complications last time :cry8:

Honey, I am so sorry your Dad has to once again go threw this.
If it means your Dad will be ok then keep thinking positive and keep
a smile on your face for him. Prayer's coming his way for a safe surgery
and a speedy recovery.


Hugs,

Awww my prayers to you and your dad! My dad has heart issues too and know how scary it is! He goes for those tests too as he has a valve that is leaking :(
You will be in my thoughts!

Prayers and good thoughts from me

Keeping your Dad in my prayers! Hopefully they can get him admitted soon and get him on the road to recovery.

Sending prayers to you and your family. :hands:

I am so sorry to hear this. I am definitely going to pray for him and send him positive, healing thoughts. (hugs)

Oh my God!! I am so very sorry!! I will definately pray for your dad to recover and live a very long and happy life. Big warm hugs to you. Hang in there.

Of course you can have some YT prayers from me. I am praying for your dad and your whole family to get thru this in good health.

Erin, your darling Daddy will be in my thoughts and prayers. It is very scary dealing with heart surgery, but technology has turned heart surgery into a fine art. Hugs to you :hug: and I'm sending you a pm :)

Dear Erin,
I'm the biggest Daddy's girl and my dad also had a mild heart attack, maybe ten years ago! He had to have angioplasty:confused: and had stents put in!
I know what you're going through! You and your family are in my prayers

Dear Erin,
I'm the biggest Daddy's girl and my dad also had a mild heart attack, around ten years ago! He had to have angioplasty:confused: and had stents put in!
I know what you're going through! You and your family are in my prayers:hands::hands:
Just think positive and be strong for him. Seeing you worried will worry him even more, so keep a smile on your face...

Erin, I will keep your father in my prayers and please do not worry too much. Hospitals now are doing wonderful things to help those in the same position as your father and they are known to make miracles happen. Hugs to you ..........:heart to

I am so sorry. I pray that it isn't as bad as you may think. God does miracles everyday and he has no limit.

Angie

I will pray for your Daddy and you! They have come such a long way in treating heart disease now, so hopefully that will comfort you a bit. My hubby got 5 more stents put in in December and he's doing great again. Hugs to you and please let us know how he's doing.

Sending prayers and good wishes to your dad and all involved:)

Oh Erin, I'm so sorry! I will definitely have your dad and family in my prayers.

Oh my, this day has been absolutely exhausting to say the least. When I checked in the off topic section this evening and read all of your beautiful replies, I couldn't quit crying. And now I am again :) YT family I can't thank you enough, even though I tried to do each one personally, for your support and well wishes for my Dad. I can't even explain what it means to me. I will post updates on Dad soon hopefully. I wish my mom would call and give me some more details. There is something way off ono his bloodwork too, but I just don't know everything yet.
Thank you all a million times over YT family.
(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))
Erin and family
