My Mom just called, they got results from Dad's stress test and he has to see the cardiologist now. His doctor said part of his heart isn't working right, and that he could have another heart attack "any time." He had quadruple by-pass 17 years ago, and at that time he was told he'd probably need to have it done again in 10 years or so, so it's been a lot longer than they thought. I know things have changed a lot in 17 years, so I'm hoping they can do something other than by-pass again for him. Mom is a worrier and always thinks the worse is coming, so she needs prayers sent up for her as well as my Dad. And she's worried about our cruises coming up, because with the holidays it may be harder to schedule surgery for him, if he ends up needing it, so she's worried we'll have to postpone our trip. I'm not concerned about that, we have trip insurance (wouldn't be without it!) so will get our $$$ back if we do have to cancel, but I am most concerned about my Dad. I'm an "only" so I'm the only one they have to lean on and I definitely will "be there" for them. Thanks to all who take time to offer up a prayer for them.
