This afternoon, I woke up to find my dad lying on the sofa not looking too good. I figured he was just getting sick, until he came down and told me to take him to the hospital. I feared the worst and ran him to Centerpoint immediately.

Turns out... he had a heart attack. The artery that goes behind the heart was 100% blocked. They put two stints in it and started him on blood thinners. He has heart damage but not severe... the doctors will know how much tomorrow. The artery in front is 90% blocked and there's a good chance he has other blockage elsewhere. If these stints don't work, they'll have to do bypass surgery.

He's in ICU tonight, and hopefully will be in a normal room tomorrow.

Please keep him in your thoughts. He's the only father I have...
