OT - Dad's In the Hospital

My mom woke me up about 4am this morning - she was gonna take my dad to the hospital, as he was having chest pains. This is not good. He had a heart attack 20 years ago at age 50 and had FOUR blocks. They could only fix three of them, as one was referred to as 'the widow maker'. Two of those have since closed up, but fissures have sprouted. Mom just called a few minutes ago - they still haven't found out anything, but his white count is up. The pain comes and goes, and perhaps that's what has me worried. Anyhow, please say a prayer for him and keep him in your thoughts...his name is Ralph. I need some prayers too - I look cool, calm and collected on the outside, but I'm so afraid of emotional eating right now... UPDATE 1: Mom called about 9am - at first they were talking about a stress test, then it was catherization. Right now he's in for a CT scan. She's trying to get ahold of my dad's doctor, but no such luck at the moment... Update 2 Mom called about 20 minutes ago - they did a CT Scan and they DID NOT find any blood clots (or anything else for that matter). Dr. Lee has been in to see him, but the cardiologist (who's an associate of my dad's cardiologist) has not. They are gonna run another set of blood tests, and he will be admitted. A catherization is a good possibility, but not today, or at least not yet!

Thoughts and prayers and with you and your dad right now. Take care, Carey
