I will count you and your Dad in my prayers tonight as will my family.

My dad is my fishin' buddy too and 4 yrs ago went in for arm pain (been having it for a year or so) -finally the doc sent him in for tests and he ended up having triple bypass and a pacemaker implanted. I never thought my "superman" would be put down either - but - he says after the surgery he feels like he is in his 30's again. We have hunted deer each season since and fish whenever works lets me tag along, so I will keep my fingers crossed for both of you for a similar outcome.

My dad had a heart attack about 15 years ago. He's been fine since - he quit being a two pack a day smoker to being a non-smoker the next day. It's obviously a difficult situation for everyone, but it will get better. Give him a lot of paitence and understanding but keep on him about healthy eating and excercise (as I still do for my dad).

You'll both be in my prayers.

My prayers and condolences to your father and family. Fargo is a well respected cardio facility, I’m sure he will be up and fishing before you know it.

Thanks all - and thanks guys for the offers to help out. You guys are awesome! We should have everything under control, so no need to worry about anything.

We got a good report. He had two stints put in yesterday. They found 95% blockage on the right side of the heart. They also found 40-50% blockage on the left side, but weren't concerned with that at this time. It was a painless procedure that took a little over an hour to do. They were unable to get a good idea on what damage was done as the heart needs time to heal, but they think it was very minimal.

All I can say is - What a difference a day makes!!! He is up walking around joking with the nurses and doctors - if everything goes as planned, they are sending him home tomorrow!! Incredible!

Thanks again guys for all the thoughts, prayers and support. It is appreciated more than you will ever know!!
