I wanted to get this on here before I left for work today so that I could tell you about Kendall's dad.
He's okay, but yesterday he had a heart cath and they found a short blockage. They put in a small stint to reopen the artery. That's not the scarey part. When we got to the hospital in Columbus to visit (it was his birthday!) his mom told us the scarey part. The artery was 98% blocked in that area and if it had actually closed (100% blockage) he would have had a serious heart attack. The scariest part....it was the MAJOR artery in your heart. They call it....The Widowmaker.
Yeah, creepy. So we're super happy that everything has gone okay and that he didn't need bypass surgery. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers for the next couple of days. As far as Kendall tells us, he's going to be just fine. But it was still a scarey thought to think he really could have died if they hadn't addressed this when they did.
Okay, off to work!

i'd say that's more than a "bit" of a scare! geez!!! glad everything worked out okay!
I'm with Karen... a bit of a scare. Yeah right. Glad that he's doing ok though. Will keep him in my thoughts and prayers!
Well I'm certainly glad they caught it when they did! That's just scary.
My dad has had multiple stints put in various places numerous times. It's pretty scary - sorry you have to go through it. At least they caught it just in time. Same thing with my dad. Lots of blockages in the 98% range.
Your father in law has been in my prayers. How is he doing?
