The Bouquet of Talent Party with Top Views #201

Welcome to the party! Wow, what a long emotional week it has been, but I am so thankful it has a happy ending! Last Saturday night about 10:00, my dad called me to tell me something was seriously wrong with my mom. He had called 911, and they were on the way. To make a very long story short, it is a miracle that she is here with us today. She had a heart attack, and there were so many complications that her surgeon told us he did not know if she would make it. They had to shock her 10 times that night while putting in the stints. The next 24 - 48 hours would be critical. She not only survived and got to come home yesterday, but her awesome surgeon told us it was the good Lord above who saved her life. It was truly an answer to prayers that one of the best surgeons in our town was working on a holiday weekend.

Thank you so much for stopping by to join us this week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I plan on catching up on my sleep.

Have a fantastic weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by to share with us this week!

ShehlaGrr said...: I am so glad to hear your mom is okay! That's a scary thing to go through. My dad has heart problems as well and a few weeks ago, he nearly had another major heart attack while we were working on the living room renovation. He pushed himself more than he should have and we stopped work and got him to the hospital. He was in all the stages leading up to a heart attack, but the surgeon did his thing and cleared up the blockages before anything could happen. My dad is home and healthy now, thank God.

You have my love <3; July 16, 2016 at 3:53 PM
