Oh Laurie how wonderful that you went to see Phred Sounds like it was quite the trip

Still thinking of you Phred

[Ginger's Mom]

Laurie, you are amazing for making that trip (and yes, I know Phred is worth it). I am sure just seeing you lifted his spirits and helped with his recovery.
Prayers are still with you Phred as you continue with your tests and recovery.
Gina, I love that picture of Phred with Bon; Bon is paying such close attention to what Phred is saying.

Just talked to Phred, he signed 3 permission slips for different treatments, they're gonna see topmorrow when they start whether a stint will do, or he needs option 2(forgot what that was), or a wholesale bypass. That'll be at about 8:30 tomorrow that they come to get him, so prayers are in order for him to be able to sleep tonight, and that things go well tomorrow.

I believe option 2 is angioplasty - where they place a ballon in the artery.

Continuing prayers!!!! Sounds like the visit was fun!

Oh dear, I don't know which option to pray for! The stint and/or angioplasty would obviously be the least intrusive, but I know my dad had a stint put in, and less than a month later he had to have another one put in, then about 6 months later he needed another one, so they decided to just do the bypass and be done with it. After all he's been through already, I sure hope this isn't what's in store for Phred. However, both my mom and dad had bypass and it certainly isn't a walk in the park - if you know what I mean - although since then, they have both been doing great. So it's a toss up. Be laid up for awhile all at once, or feel good for awhile then start feeling not so good and have a few more scares....

Well, no matter what they find or decided to do, I hope & pray it's what Phred needs to get well once and for all and be able to go home!

Laurie, how wonderful of you to visit Phred! I just know it boosted his spirits a lot, and it sounds like he's doing better over all after last week's procedure.

Keep getting better Phred!

So do I!!

I read about the procedure in the link Karen posted - oh what a choice he has! Hope it all goes well!!

Get better Phred, we're all thinking of you and sending lots of positive thoughts for a succesful operation today.

It sounds promising that they might be able to treat his heart condition with medication.
As always lots of prayers for Phred to get well soon.
