Today was probably the scariest day of my life. My daddy had a heart attack!! Luckily he was at church when it all started. He got REALLY sweaty and dizzy so he went inside. He felt nauseous and had severe chest pains. EMS picked him up and took him to Laurens Hospital. Dr. Childers saw him and decided it was best to send him to the cardiac ward in Greenville. He was stable and didn't have any pain when mama and I left at 7. By the time we got home, the nurse called and said they wanted to go ahead and do a heart catherization because his enzyme levels were up. (Originally they were going to wait until Tuesday because he was stable and wasn't in any pain but since the enzymes were elivated, they went ahead and did it tonight.) Mom just called and said that he is ok. They found a big blood clot and put a stint in. They also found several blockages. They are not going to do open heart surgery right away. Daddy is going to have to do some MAJOR life style changes and take some aggressive medications. Please keep him in your prayers!
**I want to thank our church and all of our closest family friends for being there for us during these terrible times. We wouldn't know what to do without all of you! We can never thank you all enough!!
