Prayers Needed for Husband (vanity)
1/1/2011 | MWEST MOM

Posted on 01/01/2011 1:07:04 AM PST by MWestMom

I found out Wednesday that Mr. MWestMom has some blocked arteries. That explains the fatigue, shortness of breath and eventually, the gripping chest pain. I finally talked him into the doc and they wasted no time in testing lungs and heart. Lungs fine, heart has two blocked arteries. So, Wed. the 5th he'll be undergoing angioplasty and hopefully they can fix the issue with stints.

We would appreciate any and all prayers that the procedure is all that is needed and goes well. Thank you so much in advance for your thoughts and prayers!

Ladies, make sure you lean on the mister if he starts seeming more inactive than usual, fatigued, short of breath, has chest pain and mood changes. All of these are signs of impending heart issues. My bub's heart looks very strong, no damage done yet and he's going to feel 100% better after the procedure according to friends who have had it as well. We're so glad he didn't wait until he actually had an attack!

I work with these patient post procedure. Complications with stents are rare and I’m sure the docs know what they’re doing.

Prayers for your husband and to guide the hands of his doctor. They are so good at the procedure these days you will hardly notice it. I pray for many healthy and happy years for both of you.

They can do miracles with stents. I had one inserted on 11/6/07 and it was the easiest thing to do. I had more problems with fillings to tell you the truth. They give you aspirin and like 8 doses of Plavix right before you have it done. You are awake, but they give you something that really makes you happy. The only down side is my doctor wants me to take Plavix for life. You do really bleed on it. I tore a hamstring 2 weeks ago and my leg turned black from the bruise.

Prayers for you and Mr. WestMom as he undergoes this procedure on Tuesday. Both my brothers have had it, with success. As I recall, it can be done with only 1 overnight in the hospital, then home.

You are absolutely right about the need to keep on top of their (and our) medical conditions. So much non-invasive testing is available with modern medical technology that is painless and can avoid problems before they become serious trouble.

Joining with your FReeper family that the Lord would use your beloved husband's medical team as instruments of His healing ... that the procedure would be flawless and the recovery swift and sure, to the Praise of the Great Physician. Amen ...

With many other FReepers, I will pray for Mr. MWestmom.

My dad had the same procedure, and all went well. For all the bashing and trashing they take, American medical people real unsung heroes in my book.

I will pray that God gives them the skill and the wisdom required, and peace of mind to all.

Thanks to everyone that has shared their best wishes, prayers, and stories of similar situations with me. I've passed along all this info to the mister and he is a little more convinced than he had been before about how well he is going to feel after this. A former colleague had lunch with my husband and filled him in on what to expect. That helped his anxiety a lot. He goes in on Wednesday morning so I'll let you know how he does. Thanks again for all your responses/stories. They were a comfort!

My Brother In Law, early sixties, had the same issue and had a stint put in. The difference is night and day.

One side effect, according to my Wife's Sister, is that her Husband has no further need for “ahem”, ED drugs.

May you have a wonderful 2011. LOL

Thoughts and prayers going out to the both of you.

My pleasure. Now you kids behave yourselves. Don’t want to wake up the kids, or the dog. LOL

Don’t you just love where these threads end up?

Thank you to all who offered up prayers for Mark’s surgery yesterday. Two stints in one artery and ballooning of two more later and he is doing well and recovering nicely. Hardest part for him was lying flat for 6 hours after two back surgeries.

Thank you again for all of your prayers! We felt them and you have ours anytime you need them! I love Freepers!
