My oldest sister, Karen, who lives in Royal City, WA, had a heart attack and has to have a stent put in. Those of you who know me well here know that it's been a year since I had my heart attack and my 43 year old brother died of one, incidentally, right after he had a stent put in.
Prayers for her would be greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks.

Thank you guys. I appreciate it. Her doctor believes it's a result of something she had in high school - an inflammation of the sac that lines her heart - that caused it. Unfortunately, they're waiting until Tuesday morning to do it because they have to first clean out the mess as a result of the inflammation, which is why I'm so worried. When my brother had his stent put in, they did it right after his heart attack.

I have added her and her family (that of course includes you, Mary) to my prayers. Genetics can be a real bear!
Keep us in the loop, OK?dolphindebby, like2god and njfinfan like this. -

Mary, what are your mother's first and middle names and does Karen have a middle name?

Just talked to Karens husband. They started the operation this morning at 7:30 Spokane time. She's in Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, which is about 3 hours from Royal City. Things are not seeming to go well. He said that they have to clean out the entire mess from the disease that she had and they promised to come once per hour to the surgical waiting room. They've been there twice and said it's going to be a much longer operation than planned and they're not sure what her outcome will eventually be. At the very least, the doctor said that if she makes it through the operation successfully, if she falls and lands on her chest or is driving and hits the steering wheel with her chest, it's not going to be a good thing. Thanks for your continued prayers for her guys and gals and I'll keep you updated.

I forgot to tell you guys that Marissa made it back from her honeymoon yesterday cutting it short to come be with her mom. My sister was able to get ahold of Rissa and she hightailed it back, so she has her and John's (Karen's husband) entire family there in the waiting room praying. I also told him that many of you guys from here were praying for her as well.

Just talked to John. Karen is out of surgery. It was very long, and very trying but she pulled through it well. She's now in the ICU, and John said that immediately when she got into ICU, they made her sit up on the side of the bed. Very strange, IMO, immediately after open heart surgery. I don't know why they would do that. Anyway, thanks again everyone. John said barring any problems tonight, she'll be in a private room tomorrow.

Good news all. I just spoke to Karen. She's being released on Saturday. She sounded great! She told me to thank everyone here for the prayers and to keep you guys posted on how she's doing. I'm ecstatic and thank you for all your prayers.
