Svenn is okay, resting comfortably… but ornery as ever… I took him to Potomac Hospital late Saturday night after returning from Jen’s picnic… It turns out the old fart had been popping nitro for his angina all day when I wasn’t looking and when he started looking green around the gills at Jen’s we headed home. The trip home was uneventful and Svenn was looking better when he went to bed… 5 minutes after going to bed he came up holding his arm and complaining of chest pain so I hustled him off to Potomac hospital ten minutes away.

After consultations with his doctor in Oslo on Monday, Svenn’s attending cardiologist said fixing the problem here rather than risking a flight back to Norway was the best course of action. Sooo… Svenn is at Washington Hospital Center in DC today where he will have one of the nation’s top cardiologists perform a cardiac catheterization later today to check out the problematic coronary stent.

Please say a little prayer… We’ll keep you posted.

Bente is holding up well… and speaks English much better than Svenn ever let on…

Svenn came out of the Cath Lab with flying colors... His doctor R&R'd the old stent with one of the new high-tech coated stents Made in AMERICA (not china) so should be good for another 40,000 miles.

Sooo... we all get to drive up to DC to see the old goat a little later today. He's still got quite a good buzz on at the moment from the catheterization procedure, but did manage to speak with me and Bente.

Thank all of your for the prayers... They obviously worked very well.

Love, Pete, Joyce, and Bente

Thank heavens for Pete and Joyce!!!!!

There will never be enough to say that can thank you for what you've done; but we all know we would have done the same thing no matter WHAT that dang ole viking said.

Hug Bente REALLY tight for me and tell her I am thinking of her.

As for Svenn, hug him as tight as allowed, and PULEEEEEEEZ tell him I'm so thankful for the two of you being there for him and that I'm so elated that he is on the road to recovery.

thank you both for taking such care of my friend
