He’s OK!!

Thank you to everyone for all of your prayers and concern. For those that weren’t in “the Know” about the latest for Chad, he went in on Wednesday for an angiogram. On Monday morning we were told that the results were
VERY VERY irregular.
So when they finally called us back in the afternoon they told us to be prepared to stay over night. I asked for an explanation to the “VERY VERY” comment. They said that the results of the test showed that there was major damage to the font of his heart and that it looked as if it wasn’t getting blood flow nor oxygen. She said that they were preparing for SEVERAL stints unless the damage had diesed his heart, and if that was the case they wouldn’t do anything more then, but that he could be placed on the heart transplant list.

OK…. SO IF THAT DIDN’T SCARE US TO DEATH
I DON’T KNOW WHAT WOULD?!?!.....
We talked about things that no 38 & 39 year old couple should ever have to face…. We do know that we should but on our terms and not someone else’s.

We had so many prayers from everyone and his name placed in 4 temples. THANK YOU!! We believe/know that we received a miracle. He has had 3 heart stress tests in two different hospitals and all showed that there were blockages. And when they did the angiogram there were
NO BLOCKAGES!!
What a relief!! Now we just have find out what is wrong with him, BUT at least it’s not his heart!!
He is a walking example of the Lord’s mercies
and latter day miracles.

Oh my gosh! I would say that intervention was made by a higher power for sure. I love this big guy and I am so glad that he is alright. Give him a big hug from his favorite cousin!
