I arrived at Riverside around 6 last night, after figuring out where my husband was located, Sheila and I made our way to his room. Upon entering there he was, in jeans and his tennis shoes sleeping peacefully in bed. As I bent over to kiss him, he woke up, smiled, and said, "I feel great! Can we go home now?" I couldn't believe my ears. We spent the next several hours holding him close, laughing, joking.... you'd never believe this was the same man who I was so worried about a few hours before.
More blood tests were taken and the results all came back normal! Thank you, God!!!! To be on the safe side, we with his Dr.'s decided to performed another heart cath to take a look and see if there was any problems or complications with his newest stents. The cath was performed at 7:30 a.m. this morning and the stents are perfect! Since they were in there, the decision was made to clear the two blockages in the other arteries; one 40% and one 50%. The old stents were removed and two new medicated stents were put in their place, I believe. Anyways, the blockages were taken of. Don's Dr. informed us that with our continued compliance, being aware of any signs and symptoms, our immediately response {just like those made yesterday} would lead us to a long, fulfilling life. I can only pray that he is right.
Don went through the procedure well, spent an hour in recovery, and is now in a private room. He will spent the night and I'll be bringing him home tomorrow. I cannot begin to tell you how each or your comments, thoughts, and prayers have touched my heart and I "Thank you." We would love your continued thoughts and prayers as Don heals.
Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to telephone my husband, then go spend some time in prayer, I have someone very special in my life that I need to say, "Thank you" to. May he be with you and yours, hold you close in his circle of safety and protection. Please know that we thank each and everyone of you for being there with us as we travel on through this journey of life. *until the next time, hugs, smiles, and waves*

Cathy-prayers surround you & Don. I can't imagine how scared both of you must be.
Sure glad Don is OK. Best wishes for the future. I was uplifted by your expressions of faith.
so glad to hear that don is o.k.!! ((hugs))
Oh! I was so worried for you both! I am glad to hear good news!
Cathy I'm so relieved to hear that Don's coming home and all is OK. I'm currently working on a very old friendship issue (a friend who left over 20 years ago) so it was very encouraging for me to read your words, I'm going to read those bible passages too for further inspiration. God bless!
