Dad, Get Well

Dad had a heart attack on Tuesday morning. He was working in Brigham City and fell to the ground his boss called 911. He then went to Ogden Reginal and about 5 min after he got there went in to another heart attack. Doctors then took him into emergency surgery to get a stint put in. About an hour later he was out and it was a success. He had a previous similer emcounter about 8 years ago. It was very scary. He is now doing great. He also thinks he may have had one the day before while at work.

He was put into ICU right after surgery and was told he would possibly be in there 3 days depending on the damage the heart attack caused. Well he is probably getting transfered in to a regular room (not in ICU) this afternoon. He is doing great. But... Hopefully he can quit his nasty habbit of smoking. He has a little bit of heart disease and he previously did not have this.

If you smoke and you are reading this and have any kids and/ or family think about them think about if you want this to happen to them.

My dad has a wife, 2 Daughters, 2 Step Sons and 2 great Grandbaby Girls under the age of 2 and two more great grandbabies on the way (congrats Zak and Loni) (they are having Twins). Not to mention 4 Siblings and a Mommy. We all are hoping and praying that he will quit smoking.
