Thanks for all your support with my dad and his angiogram yesterday. The results were that his right coronary artery was 100% blocked but it has compensated and has grown all kinds of little veins that are compensating for the blockage. The said the fact that it has grown all those little veins is really good and it is as if the artery was not blocked at all. His big center artery (not sure the name but they call it the widow maker) was 30% blocked and they said there was nothing they could do to remove the 30% blockage but that they could try to prevent more blockage from happening. He was put on cholesterol meds as well as some other med. They will not do an angioplasty (where they blow out the plaque in the artery) until the artery is 60% blocked so luckily we can stop this now. Anyway, my dad has about 20 pounds to lose and he has been working out pretty regularly so he needs to continue with that but all together with he diet, exercise and meds, I think he will be fine. Thanks so much for your prayers.
The following pictures are from a few weeks ago when both boys won Student of the Month!! It is quite an honor as they only chose one kid per class per month so many kids never get the award-- but both boys did. I was very proud of them!!
All of the 2nd and 3rd grade Students of the Month
Owen and his teacher Mr. Kooyman. Owen just loves Mr. Kooyman and we do too. He is an awesome teacher- Ethan had him in 3rd as well.
Mr. Kooyman loves Mia and always lets her hang out with the kids while we are there. Mia was sitting with Hannah coloring.
Glad your dad is doing well..
