Saturday morning, Linda received a phone call from Grandfather asking her to take him to the hospital...he was having severe chest pain. He went to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden. Lots of tests later, he did have some heart damage, so was going to have an angiogram done on Sunday or Monday.
Dawn and Mom were with Dad at the hospital this morning while all the rest of us were at Trevor's homecoming talk Sacrament Meeting in Springville. Dawn sent me a text during his talk, saying Dad was in surgery having the angiogram.
Awhile later, we were at Matt's and Nancy's visiting and eating when the call came from Dawn saying there had been some complications...there were 4 blockages; 2 were repaired, but while working on the 3rd, there was a rupture in his artery and severe bleeding into the heart lining. This was not good. They were able to stablize him, put a drain in his heart, and moved him to ICU. This was extremely difficult for Dawn since she was the one there with him.
Since then he has improved and they are hopeful that Grandfather can be moved to the cardiac ward on Monday morning. We pray that everything will go well and that he regains his strength quickly.
