Tuesday 2:30

Dr. Drenning came out after Sally's heart cath and showed me some pictures.  He said we have a very complicated situation.  She has a major blockage in the LAD artery and two blockages in another major artery.   This is likely what caused her heart attack.  He said the treatment plan is very complicated when you consider the kidney's functioning, too.  He said that he will have another heart surgeon take a look so he has another opinion.

He's not sure how long we can postpone the removal of the kidney stones (he mentioned a big one).  But, ideally he would like to consider opening the blockages by inserting stents and postpone the removal of the kidney stones for six weeks or so.  He said he just needs to consult the other doctors.

She will be in Cardiac Short Stay for  a little while and then will be returned to a different room, not the old one.  We'll let y'all know what room she's in as soon as we know.

I may remember other things the doctor said... If so, I'll post again right away.

Keep praying......
