My FIL had a heart attack today - UPDATE pg. 3.

OK, First of all I want to thank all of you that thought of Jerry and sent well wishes and prayers.
We went to to visit him yesterday evening. They even let us in the room.
He look ok but not great. He was awake and off the oxygen machine. He even sat up in bed to visit with us.
He spoke coherently and seemed overall in good spirits.
After several tests, the doctors have ruled out a heart attack and a pulmonary but they have NO IDEA what happened to cause the pain, difficulty breathing and "tightening" in his chest.
He is still in the hospital today.
They did change his heart medications and want to monitor him, do more tests.
We spent the night with MIL to keep her company. Beenie and Frankie slept with her. She said they hogged the bed but were good cuddlers in her time of need.

So glad to hear that he's doing ok! So he didn't have a heart attack...hmm, wonder what it was then? Hopefully the doctors can figure it all out, but in the meantime I guess he's another 'medical mystery.' Keep us updated on his condition!

I hope he improves and can go home asap.

I am relieved too!!!!! I'll check back again for more news concerning your Father-in-law.

Give Beenie and Frankie a hug, they are a big help, no doubt!!!!

No heart attack- that's good news. With all heart conditions it is important that he is moitored- this is one of the things docs can control very well.
