So, this is going to be long. Saturday night my dads legs had some edema to them. I told him on Sunday that I would take him to the hospital, but he said to just get a doctors appointment for today. We see the nurse practitioner today, and he looks at his legs and then listens to his breathing, then he looks at me and says, I think that he had heart attack, take him to the hospital now. After all of the blood work results come in, it confirmed that my dad did have a heart attack. Of course he starts laughing then he says that he cant mentally wrap his head around the fact that he could die. Needless to say, we both did a lot of crying today. They said that he needs a heart defibrillator, so theyre contacting his cardiologists to figure out whats best for him. Hes in ICU at Fort Hamilton, and I must say that I feel very good about it, for the first time. Its like being in a totally different hospital when it comes to the staff and the floor itself. Please keep my dad, and our family in your prayers. Thank you.
