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!
