My mother has had 2 heart attacks since yesterday.
I don't want to go into details about her health and history, etc.
They are doing surgery at 10:00 am tomorrow.
Thanks and I will try and update as I can.
UPDATE:
First, thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers. It really means a lot!
The hospital called me early this morning to say they needed to move the surgery to 9:00 am, which kind of concerned me. I got there at 8 to have a conference with the cardiologist and surgeon.
They did the catheter and found 90-99% blockage in 3 arteries, so instead of just being able to go in and put in a stent they ended up having to do a quadruple bypass, which at her age(78) and condition(previous heart attack and stroke) is a very risky procedure.
Both doctors said we didn't have a choice as she would not have lived through the weekend.
So, they completed the bypass around 5:00pm and so far, so good. Of course she isn't out of the woods yet and the next 24-48 hours are critical.
Thanks again to all of you for the support. It really does help!

I lost my Dad 3 years ago. I don't know if I can stand losing my Mom right now.
I really wanted to be funny and sarcastic but my heart hurts so bad right now and I am crying like I never have before.

If you need anything, let me know. Don
You've done more than enough already.
Give me a hug, if you don't mind. I could really use it.
Thanks bro.
Another for you,
and, another for her doctors.
Prayers sent.

They do amazing things routinely these days.
I have had a quadruple bypass myself and two stents in lower arteries. There is good reason to expect things will go well.
I am wishing it to be so for your mother.
