Prayers please

My dad had what was a routine stress test this morning, only they have kept him and my mom there all day.  It did not go as well as we had hoped it would.  Now he has been admitted to the hospital.  I don't know what steps they will take or if it will be today (or tonight), but please pray for him.  He has coronary artery disease and had a stint put in back in 1996.  (These typically only last several years before needing to  be replaced).  He does have blockage and we are not sure if  he needs a new stint or if there is more to the story.  Thank goodness he went for his test.  I am glad the doctors have seemed to catch this in time.  I will update more later - as I can.  I won't be around a computer tonight.

Girl...you know that I will be praying on my knees for your Dad. I know the feeling....my Dad had a massive heart attack 3 yrs ago in February and had 2 stints place. I am always worried. The said had he not gotten to the hospital in 3min (before he did) he would have never survived. I can not imagine my life without my father and my thoughts and prayers are completely with you!!!! And your entire family!!!

Love ya Kelly!

I am sorry. I personally know how scary this all is. When Lindsey was only 6 months old my Dad went in for a non stress test and ended up getting a quad-bypass! Lindsey is now 9,almost 10. It will be okay. Scary stuff.
