My mom had three heart attacks in the last 24 hours…

I am not sure I want to talk or write about it…I am worried and scared. They are going in for an angiogram/plasty right now…with any luck they may not have anything else to worry about. Hopefully the worst is over, hopefully. I fear that that is not likely though, see she had a stroke a couple three years ago and they had to do surgery on the left side of her throat…she died on the operating table but they resuscitated her. They recommended then that they should do the other side because it was very clogged too, but she opted not to have it…this is the vein that leads to her heart and is probably the one that caused the heart attacks. If all our worst fears are realized she will have to go to Medford to have open heart surgery to repair any damage, if this happens I will be going up to Oregon tonight or tomorrow. Best-case scenario, they tell her to take two aspirin and call them in the morning. I am not ready to be without my mommy…

My mom came through the surgery okay. They had to put several stints in to open the arteries...but no other major problems. She will be going home from the hospital by tomorrow. I am not going to go to Oregon right now but I believe I will probably try very hard to get there for my spring break or in that general time...and atleast for a weekend.
