I cannot believe it.
Today I almost lost my 42 year old husband.
Rich suffered a heart attack. The Dr said his heart disease is very bad. At 42.
::taking deep breath::
I thank God he is alive (and threatening to come home tomorrow, can you imagine?)
He is now the proud owner of a few stents and had an angioplasty because they could not fit any more stents in his artery.
He is in ICU and tomorrow they will do another ultrasound to see if any more arteries need repairing.
I am dazed and still a bit shocked but I am thanking God for giving us both second chances at life. Cancer and heart disease...and here we are. And here we will STAY for a looong time. That I am sure.
As usual my family came rushing to my side. I honestly don't know what I would have done without my SIL, Treece, who ran here with her kids within minutes.
Any prayers would be great. I am a bit concerned about our finances as we are overflowing with debt and now we are both out of work.
But, it will work out. I just want my husband to come home and drive me crazy again.
Enjoy every moment. And hug your loved ones EVERY DAY!!!

OMG, I am praying for all of you. What a scary time for you and the kids...not to mention Rich. Wow...that's the only word that keeps running thru my mind. Hugs to you and please update us when you can.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. As someone else mentioned remember to take care of you too.
We love you and are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Rich is a fighter just like you and he will be home before you know it! We are here for you always.
I am just in shock and so sad for you. Just so much for all of you to bear at once, but I know you are strong and you will get through this. Praying for a very speedy recovery for both of you.
I didn't know about this until today. I'm so sorry that your family is experiencing another health crisis. Praying for healing for each of you and for your finances. Also praying for your children because no matter how scary is it for adults, it's even more frightening to them.
Oh My Goodnes! I hadn't read this in a couple of days, and nearly fell out when I read your post. Praise God that the doctor's had the knowledge to help Rich. God speed recovery to you and Rich!!!! Cheri
Still thinking of you - here is to a speedy recovery for Rich. Praying for you all.
