Homecoming

Dave came home from the hospital today....but the past couple of days have been harrowing.

Monday, they did the angio, and they found out that he HAD indeed had a heart attack, and that one of his primary arteries was 90% occluded.

They treated the occlusion with a stent, and he now has 6 prescription medications he has to take to continue on the road to a full recovery. The medications will help prevent the clot around the stent from becoming dangerous, and will also treat the 30% blockage they found in one of the smaller arteries as well.

Dave was kept in the ICU for 23 hours, but not all of it was because he needed the extra care. Part of the reason was that the hospital was full, and they couldn't find him a bed to go to in a regular room.

Whatever the case, he is home now, keeps saying he "feels weird," and is very tired and beat up, but also very glad to be alive. I think a good night's sleep in his own home will make a world of difference, and that he will feel a little bit better tomorrow because of it.

Please continue to send us healing vibes.

Tomorrow, we cook the Christmas Eve Virginia Ham!
