I am so sorry to be getting in on this so late. Another PTer pointed out your post and I was so upset to hear this. It looks like the doctors have a handle on what is going on and there is a plan of treatment ahead, and your update was very encouraging so that's good news indeed! (((Hugs))) to you as you go through a most trying time.

[AmberLee]

Wow, that report today does sound hopeful. I'll continue to hold your family in my prayers. {{{hugs}}}

Prayers and positive thoughts on their way for your hubby, you, and all your family.

What great news, Beth!!! It definitely does sound as though he experienced a "warning," thank goodness! And it doesn't sound as though there was any heart damage!!! Those stents work wonders, along with the angioplasty. And the fact that Roger is in such great overall health is a huge plus! So many ignore those chest pains, especially those younger in age. Actually, heart attacks in men in their late 30's, early 40's, are more common that people think. Roger was so lucky! I'm thrilled for you and Roger and your whole family Please keep us upadate!

Beth, I'm so glad to hear that Roger is doing much better. Prayers and positive thoughts are still being sent your way. Please take care and try to keep us updated.

Beth, my husband had more problems, he was born with something wrong with his heart. He still has a lot of problems, which have now included his lungs. High blood pressure. No rest for the weary. Your husband sounds like he has a lot going for him, he's young and healthy. I know he will do fine.

The main thing is you need not worry yourself too much. I know thats easier said than done. I have been worrying ever since my husband went through it. Whew! Your going to have a baby, so that is something you are going to have to do is rest, and be sure to keep you and baby healthy.

You try not to worry too much, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. The wee one too.

Beth, I'm happy to hear that your husband is doing better and will be home soon.

My sister-in-law will be going home from the hospital tomorrow.
She had an angiogram this morning.
The official term for what she had is a "Spontaneous Coronary Artery Disection" which they said was due to her stressful pregnancy with twins.
She will have to take daily aspirin and at least one prescription(which my brother couldn't read the doctor's writing on) and she needs to limit her activity for a while.
She is one of those people who tries to do everything herself.
My 2 1/2 year old niece has missed her a lot since she couldn't visit her mom in the hospital.

How are your daughters doing Beth?
You could have your 7 year old make a Get Well Soon card or a Welcome Home Daddy card to give to your husband when he comes home.

[Karen]

I agree - making Daddy a nice card, or helping "decorate" for a "welcome home, Daddy!" might be fun and stress-reucing for your 7-year-old.

Does she get to visit? When I was 12 (and my brother was 7 - as young as she) my Dad was hospitalized for his asthma, and for us to visit, the poor guy had to get out of his hospital bed and come down to the lobby (trailing his "girfriend" the IV stand). Some hospitals are much better about kids these days, hope yours is.

You'll all be in our prayers.

My goodness I go away for a weekend and it's like hospitals are us. Last week it was pets . Prayers to all and glad to hear all are getting better.
It is amazing how the body can fix it's self with the help of the skilled medical staff.
Pray can help so much too having hubby servive cancer we under stand all the fear and rejoyiceing too.

ROGER IS HOME!!!!! He actually feels better than he has for the past month. He has to take four prescriptions for at least nine months and an aspirin a day for the rest of his life. He goes to the cardiologist in three weeks. He'll be off of work for at least that long.
Sabrina is very happy to have her daddy with us. Brooke (14 mths.) is used to not having daddy here since he works away so it wasn't that hard on her. Not having me here as much was a little confusing to her though.
Sabrina made her daddy two cards and packed a gift bag for him. I wrote a letter to her teacher telling her what was going on and her class made a card and every student signed it for him. He showed those card to every nurse on duty.

Thank you all so much for the support. It means a lot to us.

I am so glad to hear he is doing better! My father is 63 and has had numorous heart attacks, open heart surgery and recently just got new stints in too. Somehow he manages to live! He's one strong man!

First off let me introduce myself for those that don't know me... I am steno's husband.. That said just let me thank each and every one of you for your prayers. I am feeling much better now. The progress being made today with heart attack treatments is amazing, I could actually tell, as I was laying on the table, when the Dr got my blood flowing properly. It was like someone threw a switch. The problem now is trying to not do too much before i get healed properly. The difference is amazing I feel like a new man......Again thanks to all of you for your prayers and good thoughts, they definately helped alot......Roger

I'll be keeping your family in my prayers.
