An Update on Ray's Dad


As I mentioned in one of my recent posts, I mentioned that Ray's dad was going to have a catheterization today to check and see if there were any major blockages that had to be dealt with. The good news is that the procedure went well. The news wasn't as good as we would have liked. It seems that he has three pretty major blockages so they are now working on scheduling triple bypass surgery for him.

Ray and his family are taking it pretty well. I think a big part of it is because they have gotten used to his heart troubles. Besides already having had quadruple bypass in the past, he has also had an artifical heart valve installed. It is not that they aren't worried, but they are taking the whole thing in stride.

The doctor is supposed to sit down with Ray's parents to set up a schedule as to when they should do the surgery, but it shoul dbe sometime in the next week or two.

To be honest, I am just hoping that things will get sorted out quickly. I want him to be back on his feet again for Ray and the rest of the family. Thank God Ray has me around to do all the worrying.

My dad and my brother had bypass surgery and both of them came out of it great. My brother is in the best shape of his life now and my dad lived to be 81 -- that was years after his bypass. Their very good at it now.

well,this is pretty tough.This is the second times around.
Why is all this blockage?is he maintain his diet there?
You said that he all ready had a quad bypass and now this.
Boy,hate to see all of this cut open again.Will the Stent helped him any and did he have a choice?well whatever he does.He should be very careful after this and watch his diet.

I already commented on blogster. Is it ok for you that from now on I only comment here?

Ah, bless AJ--the family self appointed head worrier--that's why ray's family seem to be taking it so calmly.
His heart has and is really taking a beating--hope that Ray is done with his problems in that way.
