Dads having heart surgery again.

My dads side of the family has a problem with clogging arteries (genetic). Our blood is to thick, high calcium, high cholesterol, etc. My granddad had several, several open heart surgeries. Dad had one in his early 50's that turned out to be a 6-bypass.

Now roughly 4-5 years later he has to go back in. He had some test done a couple of weeks ago and had to go the his Cardiologist yesterday. Turns out he has two blockages in his heart, one in each leg (each 60%), and one in his neck. Right now they think its going to be as simple as stints. The one in his neck can be cleared up with Meds. His open heart was hard on him so he is scared to death, however dad would never admit to that.

The doctor said he could go no more than a couple of months. That isn't what dad wanted to hear at all. If you all could remember him in your prayers, Pastor Larry Coffelt.
