@hopeful33250 Thanks for prayers. He really has had a time with heart disease. Had five caths to insert stents after a heart attack. The stents clogged so he had procedures to put stents inside stents. He's on a drug store of heart meds. Finally, did quad bypass and found aorta was calcified, so replaced that. We were in the heart hospital 17 days with six doctors. Kidneys stopped, had to have stents put in for that. In the last two years he has had different tests because the aorta is leaking. He is 77 years old, so I know and he knows that they are weighing surgery for the aorta or giving him meds. He is on the last big med that will lower his blood pressure. It's very scary. I have dialed 911 multiple times and we've flown screaming sirens to the hospital with doctors waiting. So they will do the first test and see what that shows. If that's not enough, then we go to the next level, and on. It is just unnerving to me. I will be praying every day and hope that the Good Lord will hold us in His healing hands.
Thanks for your response.
Carol

Praying for you and your husband.

He certainly has been through a lot of procedures. You are both to be commended for your grace under pressure, @retiredteacher.

@retiredteacher I'll be praying right along with you, Carol. I hadn't realized or remembered when I wrote my prior post all that he (and you too) has gone through. Please keep us up to date on how he is doing.
