Prayers needed for Ray...
Jul 21^st, 2008 at 1:14am

Ray has been admitted to our local hospital with what may (or may not) turn out to be a heart attack. The symptoms look very much like heart trouble, but so far, the bloodwork says not. In the morning, they'll do more bloodwork and possibly a stress test.

I'll update you all as I know more. For now, he's resting as comfortably as can be expected. He's hooked up to every monitor ever invented and he has O2, a nitro patch, an IV and a morphine drip. Since they suspect his heart, he can't have Imitrex, and the nitro is trying to give him a headache...they've given him free access to O2, tho, and they're doing what they can to keep him comfortable.

Please keep him in your prayers...you guys really have no idea how much strength you give him and how close you are in his heart.

Shade

Hey, Ray, You are a clusterhead! You are a tough son of a gun! A lil ole thing like a heart attack won't stop you!

I have had several. They ARE survivable!

Plenty of prayers and good vibes headed your way buddy!

Kick butt, and get back to us!

(And unless you want to get slapped, {by your wife AND the nurses} don't go pinching the nurse's butts!)

Hey, everybody...

Ray should be here to update this himself in a few hours...they're kickin him loose. They still have no clue what caused the symptoms, but the enzyme tests are all coming back negative, and the heart monitor is looking okay.

I wish they had something better to say than "gee, we have no clue." I'm nervous. The man goes in with chest pain radiating down his arm, he's white as a sheet and sweating buckets, he's got double vision, he's nauseated...and the best they can say is "we don't know WHAT that was, but we don't think it was a heart attack"....hmmmm

I'm sending all I've got for both of you, Shade.

My husband's enzymes didn't change for over 24 hours. If he'd not had an EKG by the ambulance drivers, he probably would've been sent home sooner. The EKG showed a serious cardiac "event", but he was fine within a few minutes.
The EKG in the ER looked normal.

Anyway, tell him to take it as a warning, and start taking better care of himself.

hugs to both of you, nani
