No news except look what was delivered to the hospital room:

Dsc01962

It’s the White Lies Designs wedding sweater yarn. And guess who delivered it? The bride herself, who also happens to be a pediatric cardiology nurse. She flew in to be with us for the next few days, hopefully for the angioplasty. It is so comforting to have someone living right in my own house who can interpret what’s going on. So what if her patients weight 150 lbs less than Chuck, she knows what a cardiogram is supposed to look like and what all the drugs are for.

When this happened I had a feeling we were either going to be pleasantly surprised with our medical system or disappointed. So far, so good. Despite the fact that no angioplasty is done in the regional heart hospital (in a city of 2 million), Friday through Sunday, things seems to be working well. Since he is in the hospital it will be done this week as opposed to being an outpatient, when the wait is a month and a half. The dr felt it was too risky to send him home. Thank you all again, for your ongoing support and prayers. It means so much to be part of this community.

    I beleive you have had enough. If I believed in statistics, I’d say you’re through it now. But we never know what will happen to whom or why. You are certainly (still) in my prayers and may you soon have the blessings coming to you. Love from Sardis.

    Oh Li, Hang in there. I hope Chuck will recover and that his angioplasty surgery will go well. My Dad had that surgery done 2 summers ago (not as a result of a heart attack – fortunately caught the trouble without the heart attack) and he is doing extremely well.
    Take care of yourself

    Just heard about your horrible news, I’m glad he’s doing all right though. It is very nice to have someone so knowledgeable in these things right in your own family.
    I hope all goes well.

    Glad to hear your daughter’s in town. I’m sure it’s a relief to have someone answer questions that come up when the doc’s not there.
    My mom was in Burnaby General last Sept with a similar sounding situation and they kept her in until she could be taken to Vanc. General for the angioplasty.
    On the bright side…. as long as Chuck is in hospital, he’s away from the power tools!
    All of you take care, and I hope he’s home (but still away from the power tools) soon.
