What A Week!

The past week has been such a blur. For those of you that do not know, my dad went into the ER last Saturday night (against his wishes). He had a horrible chest pain while picking up blocks off the floor and barely crawled to the couch. He was white as a ghost and winded. He thought he would pass out. Momma couldn't get him to go to the ER until later that evening. Good thing we did, he had a pulmonary embolism, aka a blood clot to the lung. It's was actually called a saddle in which he had clots going all the way across his chest and one HUGE one in the artery branching off to the lungs. It was life threatening and pretty scary. He was admitted to CCU to start blood thinners. They did find another one behind his knee after doing a leg ultrasound. He was discharged from the hospital late Tuesday night. He now has to go to the hospital for blood thinning shots in his stomach at 6:00 a.m and 5:00 p.m. for 5 days (until Sunday). He was very lucky and we thank God everyday for his healing. Please continue to lift him up in your prayers for continued healing and peace after such a traumatic event. Thanks so much.
