One time just isn't enough.....

So, we are back at the hospital on Friday April 2, 2010, because one time in the Cardiac hospital just isn't enough! Friday morning it actually started at 3:00 am but my Dad didn't tell anyone so Alan and I all went off to work thinking he was o.k. Barbara came over to see him and kiss him good morning and said, "you feel really clammy, are you o.k." and you can imagine that he said yes he was, but she asked a few more questions and said, I think we need to call your doctor to which he was told to go straight to the emergency room. He passed out again while getting another e.k.g. and we were told he had had another mild heart attack. And that they were getting him a room in the cardiac hospital again. They told us that if they sent him home, they were sure he would just end up here. They took him off the Plavix that was to help heal the stents they put in and keep a blood clot from happening. Originally they wanted to have him be on this medicine for a couple of weeks to make sure all was well with the stents then take him off the medicine for a week and then do the bypass surgery....but things have been moved up a little and he has been taken off the Plavix Friday and then Tuesday if his platelets are o.k. they will do triple bypass surgery at 7:15 am. The Doctor that I work for really likes the surgeon who is going to do the surgery so that is a comfort.

Picture is of Dad with his nurse in Triage in the Emergency room, smiling all the time even though he is scaring me half to death!
