Bill Update

They finally decided Bill had a heart attack and went in to do the angioplasty but there was too much blockage for stents, so they will have to do a triple bypass on Friday. He had to be cleared by his lung doctor. I was there when he came in today and Bill was borderline acceptable for the surgery, but the lung doctor said he had to have the surgery. He also believes the heart attack caused a mini-stroke. Bill has no memory of Sunday at all and remembers going to bed Saturday night and waking up in a hospital room on Monday. He was very lucid today and tonight they moved him into a regular room in the heart center (he had been in cardiac ICU). Fortunately I was there today for two different doctors so it was nice to get information first hand instead of third hand. I stayed about an hour and then his local daughter and 3 kids came in with his older daughter that lives in Colorado. That was a nice surprise. The room got packed, so I made my exit. If the surgery goes well and he recovers from that and quits smoking, he should be good to go for a few more years. Now it's all just waiting.
