My Dad had a heart attack :C
14 years ago
General
My Dad had a heart attack last night and I spent almost all night with him and my mom in the hospital. He had an initial surgery to see what the problems were, and they found out his heart is in really bad shape :c So this morning, probably about now, they're going to try to do a type of bypass surgery on him. There's a very small chance he won't survive (20% they said), but I'm confident my Dad can make it through it. If he's survived taking care of my retarded brother, a surgery should be nothing.
It's bad, though, cause even if he does survive (which he should), he won't be able to work and my parents will have to declare bankruptcy. We will probably lose the house, and who knows what will happen after that. I had hoped to be moved out before that ever happened, but no dice *sigh*
If ya'll will, please keep my Dad in your thoughts and prayers and what-not. It's just been a terrible year ><
[EDIT!] Well his surgery was succesful, or so much as it could be, I guess. He had to have 5 bypasses done to his heart, but he's in stable condition and he'll survive. I'm very glad, as I was really worried about what would happen if he had passed, but hopefully that won't happen for another few decades at least <3

Oh dear, I've already started a prayer for your dad but because of what may happen even if it goes well, I'll pray for all of you.

thanks <3 he survived the surgery and is in care right now, but he's stable and it seems he'll survive. Hopefully he'll be able to return home soon, though I don't know how his condition will be from now on though.

Ugh none of this is good news except that he made it through. Also you gotta be aware that bypass surgery sucks regardless. My dad had it and you get unfun long term side effects such as short term memory loss

ugh x.x I know it's gonna be a rough road ahead for both him and the rest of my family >< especially my mom, since she lost her dad (My Granddad) a few years ago. Hopefully things won't get too difficult D:
