These have been the longest 3 weeks of my life! My mother just had 2 heart attacks. They discovered she has Coronary Heart Disease. The left arteries are 100% blocked and the right ones are very weak (they put in a stint) They originally did not want to do a bypass because they felt the dangers outweighed the benefits, however they have now changed there minds and think that may be their best option. because of where in the artery the blockage is located, they are afraid that to to they bypass would cause the artery to rupture or the blockage to go into the heart itself. Her husband is still treating her awful. Please keep everyone in prayer, especially my mother and my brothers (19 yrs, Autistic and Mentally Retarded and the other is only 8) and my sister (who is only 9). The young ones are taking things quite rough as is understandable.
