I know... asking for vibes/prayers 2 times in a week... but this time I really really need them...

My Grandpa has had 2 heart attacks in the past years. He has been experiencing shortness of breath when he walks even small distances, and a tight chest. So, they drove to Rochester yesterday and today he is having an angioplasty (I think I spelled it really wrong) to see whats going on. And if its serious, they will do some more surgury.

We went up and saw him last night in the hotel and had dinner with them. I really wanted to stay the night and be there with my Grandma and Aunt - but I knew I had to come back home. Of course, I cried when I left - even though I know everything WILL be okay...


My Grandparents are like my 2nd parents, they are so close to me, they are my world - if anything were to happen, I don't know what I'd do - so please, if you have any extra vibes/prayers... please send them my Grandpa's way.

Thanks

Thanks Eileen - he really is - I am just a total wreck today thinking about all thats going on - and how much I wish I could be there.

Me & my mom lived with my grandparents until I was 2 and my mom married - we are so close, I am just praying every second that this will be a routine operation and that they can control it all by some medication... and not another surgury.

Oh I know he's in good hands... but when I know that something like this is happening, I just get so nervous...

The Mayo Hospitial is the best in the world - I know they will treat him wonderfully there - he's been there enough, the nurses know him by name!

Mackenzie, I remember reading how much you love your family. I know this has to be very hard for you, especially not being able to be with your Grandpa right now.
Of course my prayers are with him, you, and your family.

I just talked to my Aunt that is there with my Grandma & Grandpa.

He got done with the angioplasty about an hour ago, and he's in his room, eating and feeling good, but a little sore.

They haven't gotten the test results back yet - so keep those prayers coming - so far, they are working!

I'm sending LOTS of prayers and vibes to your grandpa, and some calming cyber-hugs to you. I know it's hard, but try not to get too nervous. Your grandpa is in one the world's best hospitals and being treated by some of the world's top doctors...but you already know that. Please keep us updated.
