My uncle is getting released from the hospital today.

The heart attack did 65% damage to his heart so it wasn’t strong enough for the heart cath. His cardiologist put him on Lasix and Coreg because congestive heart failure. They also removed almost 3 gallons of fluid from around his heart and lungs. He is feeling much better and thrilled to be getting out of the hospital. He will have to be monitored very closely and he is going to have to make some serious lifestyle changes, but for now he is out of the woods.

This scare made him re-evaluate his life and he wants to move back here to be closer to us. We’re all happy about that and trying to scrape up the to move him back home.

I want to thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers. I know they made a difference in his recovery.

*HUGS*

On this day..
