Hey everyone, My father in law is in the hospital in pretty bad shape. He has had 2 different heart bypasses in the past and has had angioplasty ( the balloon that helps fix occlusions). He had a jumper placed last year and is now in bad shape again. Last Saturday night he passed out at home and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. They are going to do a very risky procedure on him tomorrow with a pump and place a stent to the left main artery of his heart. He could possibly die. Without the surgery it looks grim too. He has 95% blockage to that left main artery. His carotids (neck arteries) are 65% and 80% blocked. He is also diabetic and has a ulcer on his foot...but that actually looks better. This procedure will be done from sometime between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. My husband as well our entire family needs support. Please everyone, remember our family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks, BEth
