My recent trip to Nashville

On Saturday, January 24, 2009, I had to travel to Nashville.  On Friday night, my father had a massive heart attack.  When I got the the VA Hospital that Saturday night, he looked so much better than I expected.  This was the first time I had seen my dad in 3 to 4 years.  Both my sister and I spent about 2 to 3 hours Saturday and Sunday with him.  He doesn’t believe that he had a heart attack, but I think that is because he has dementia.

 

I talked to his doctor today before I came back to Mississippi.  He told me that my dad’s main artery was blocked and he had 3 stints put in.  He had moderate damage to his heart as well.  He will be at the VA until Wednesday and then he will go back to the nursing home.

 

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this time.  I really felt them and have had peace during this whole situation.
