Kevs dad

Kevin's dad began having minor chest pains on Thursday night he was thinking it was just bad indigestion... he was restless through the night and in the morning my mother in law found him on the living room floor, he did not remember how he got there. Kevin's parents went in to see his doctor and found out he had had a heart attack throughout the night.
Of course he was sent straight to the hospital. We headed down as soon as we could on Friday and spent the weekend in and out of the hospital for visits. Kevin's dad had triple bypass on Monday and as I understand it where the actual heart attack was on his heart was the best spot for a heart attack in the long run, of course that doesn't mean it isn't very serious and that a lot of damage to his heart was not done. We stayed until Tuesday and got in one last visit before we headed home, when we saw him he was of course uncomfortable but in a good mood and very talkative.
Last we heard he is having trouble maintaining as high of a blood pressure level as needed on his own so they have him on an IV drip to help keep it up, when they can take him off that drip and his blood pressure remain at a good level he will be allowed to move to his own room, he is still currently in cardiac intensive care.
Please join us in Praising the Lord for Mike being alive today! He is a wonderful father/ father in law and an amazing Papa to Averi and Addison, we truly do not know what we would do without him! Also join us in praying for a quick and smooth recovery for him that he will come out of this healthier and stronger then before! Also please pray for Kevin's mom as she makes the many trips back and forth to the hospital, that God will give her strength, encouragement and help her avoid feeling exhaustion! We love you both "Nana" and "Papa" and wish we could be there helping more, our prayers are with you!

Your father in law is in my prayers! Along with your mother in law. This has to be so hard on her! I'm sure they'll make it through this tough time wonderfully though! <3
