Meanwhile all the best to your husband and you as you face this medical crisis. Modern medicine has done wonders with the heart treatments.

The good news is that these days there is SO MUCH that the doctors can do that they couldn't do to help us even a few years ago. <br /><br />I so understand the emotions you are going through. Ten years ago my younger daughter (who turns 40 today!) had her first baby, a sweet boy named Gregory. Her pregnancy had been difficult but there was no warning that her baby was anything but perfect. The day after he was born, the pediatrician asked for an EKG and we discovered that Greg had a fairly common but serious heart condition with 3 inter-related heart defects that would require open heart surgery. But they wanted to wait until he grew a little bigger until they did it, probably when he was about 6 months old. So they sent her home with a very fragile baby and told her 'oh, by the way, don't let him cry, it's too hard on his heart.' Well, after a very scary 6 months, they did the open heart surgery and he is now as good as new! He is 10 and big for his age like his Grandpa and smart and outgoing and charming.<br /><br />It is all so scary I know, but doctors are miracle workers these days! I am not a pray-er, but I so hope things turn out as well for your hubby as they did for my sweet Gregory.

Still active fit and stronger than most men younger. I still remember feeling so lost that first day when he was having the heart attack.

Don't forget the good news - they caught this early, before any serious damage was done to the heart. While scary and will take awhile for him to heal, catching this is a very good thing. Hang in there. Before you know it this will all be history. Still, I'm sure it is a big scare and I wish you didn't have to go thru this.<br /><br />QuiltShopGal<br />www.quiltshopgal.comQuiltShopGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165032142483696494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-53338435439494485142017-03-05T18:32:24.755-05:002017-03-05T18:32:24.755-05:00Any heart issues are scary, but I will tell you th...Any heart issues are scary, but I will tell you that my husband had his first heart attack at 46, a second one at 48, an stents and angioplasty in Dec 99 and is still going strong.

I’m amazed at how early spring has been. I’ve been jealous of all the gorgeous magnolia trees this year. No cold snap to turn anything brown too soon. Of course I’m freezing this weekend. :-)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561892583686450813noreply@blogger.com
