My pops is the toughest SOB I know but right now he's at the mercy of a situation he can't control and needs the power of prayer to pull him through.
Yesterday my phone rang and the caller ID showed it was him. I answered but he didn't respond. When I called back he was short and to the point then said I'm really busy and have to let you go. Before I could say anything he had hung up. I didn't think too much of it because when he's at work he usually makes it quick and hangs up when he's done talking. However it turns out there was more to the story this time... He called this morning to apologize for cutting me short yesterday and then explained he was having a heart attack and hung up when the ems got there to transport him to the hospital!
Happened around lunch yesterday. Blood tests showed elevated enzymes, ekg indicated heart attack. They think he had another at the hospital last night. Cardiologist didn't come yesterday and then didn't show up until around 5PM today. He took one look at dad's chart and came apart at the seams. Claims he wasn't notified until this morning and was only told dad came in dehydrated complaining of chest pain. He immediately moved dad to icu, put him on nitro drip, and ordered a cath for first thing in the am. Until then it's a waiting game.
I'm 38 years old and today when I walked into that room I saw my dad truly scared of something for the first time in my entire life. He's a Christian, and was even a Sunday school teacher when I was growing up so I know he believes in the power of Christ. Now we just have to pray that God's plans for him here are not yet done.
