Last nite started out like any normal evening at the fastfred house. I fell asleep about 10. My wife woke me up around 11 and told me to call the ambulance, that she was really struggling breathing . She was, and it was scary as hell.
As they whisked her off, I had to round up my crying 4 year old, and 15 year old boys, and head to the er. Only one person is allowed at a time in the hospital, so we spent the entire night making laps around the hospital parking lot, till 4 am.
She just came out of surgery from having a stent. I knew by the tone of the surgeon last nite, that it was serious, but had no idea how bad. She was in cardiac arrest for almost 15 minutes last nite
He said, in a last ditch effort, they threw the kitchen sink at her, and got her ticker back online . She almost did not make it. He mentioned clot buster is whay finally worked.
I'm sitting there trying to prepare myself to tell my little guy that his mommy is gone.
She has a long way to go, but from the sounds of it, she is going to be alright. Maybe some big lifestyle changes to come. She is 49, does not smoke, drink,or do drugs. She has, however ignored advice from her doctors in the past. She definitely has high blood pressure, and probably diabetes.
I'm a thankful guy right now.
Oh, and small world, the surgeon just bought the biggest house on the road my shop is on. I test drive past his house several times a day. I had never met him till today. Best freaking neighbor ever.
I'm.not super religious, but if you want to say a little prayer for her, Ill take it. Life can change in the blink of an eye.
