Apparently my dad had a heart attack today. My mom just called me from the hospital in Seattle. I will update everyone when I know more...until then, please keep him in your prayers...
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. The last update I received from my sister was that my dad had two blocked arteries and that they went in this afternoon and put a stint in one of them. The 2nd one appeared to be clearing itself, so the doctors are going to wait and see if they need go in and put a stint in that one over the next couple of days. He will be in the ICU for a couple of days, then hopefully moved to a regular room and released Tues or Wed if all goes well. He is apparently in good spirits and is trying (in his typical way) to play the whole thing down. I think this had been most stressful for my mom, so please hold her in prayer also. For now it looks like I will not go out to Seattle unless something changes...but these are the times when I wish I lived closer to my family. I really wish I could be there. Even though there really is nothing I could do, I would still like to be there. It seems there have been more and more of those times in recent years. Ugh.
