Default Re: Prayers for Jim Voth

UPDATE: Dad has 100% blockage in one artery, 80% in another (now feeding blood to the first), and a blockage in the 3rd artery that broke loose, causing a 100% blockage of that artery.

After having coffee at the local cafe this morning with friends (daily routine for the past 30 years), he walked back and started feeling tight chested and short of breathe. Long story, short...mom got him to the hospital in time. There, he actually had the heart attack. The doctors were able to remove the blockage and install a stint in time that the damage he has to his heart muscle should be reversed in 2-3 months. We're all praying. He has to go back in 2-3 months to have the 80% blocked artery stinted, since it's now supplying blood to the 100% blocked artery. Confused??? What a long day. He has to stay away from a wrench (and the race car) for 4-6 weeks. He's upset because Great Bend divisional is next month. We're just all fortunate to still have him around. Thanks everyone for you thoughts and prayers.
