Friday November 7...7:30 pm

We didn't get to see the Dr that actually did the angiogram today - he checked out early for the weekend! But we did see his partner and he explained that the right coronary artery was 75 - 85 % blocked and the left circumflex artery was 90 % blocked. Whew. The Dr seriously asked Robert during the procedure if he wanted bypass surgery or stents. I'm glad he was coherent enough to say stents! The Dr this evening said that was a good choice..."we can always do bypass surgery in the future if needed." I think that this looks like the mercy of God protecting Robert from a major heart attack. His anxiety over the upcoming biopsy alone could very well have created some major problems. Instead now the dreaded angiogram is all done, and he will have a total of 3 procedures with one bridge (that must be a bargain). As long as 3 procedures in 5 days doesn't do him in! Isn't that just like our Maker - He gives us one thing to prepare us and get us ready for the next. One stress strengthens us for the next stress, just like the roots of a tree going deeper during the storm. Our job is just to keep trusting in the work of the Father. I love the mercy of our God.
