I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born. I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband. My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Hope all goes well for him. Hopefully it will go as well as it has for those I have known having to face it. Good luck and God speed.

Thanks guys :) I have been with him all day at the hospital. He is pretty scared about the whole thing, but joking about everything ;) Apparently he has been having some pretty severe chest pains since Christmas and did not tell anyone. For as bad as his condition is, he should be VERY sick. He should not have been able to do one minute of the treadmill test, let alone the entire thing. He is one tough dude. I will be at the hospital with my mom all day tomorrow, and probably a lot for the next week. I'll keep y'all posted :)

Thanks again so much for you love and concern :)

Very tough indeed, from your stories of him, I'm sure his heart is as strong as his cast-iron stomach.

From Burt on Thu, Mar 05, 2009 at 11:38:04 from 68.76.197.194

will be praying for you guys.

From Kelli on Thu, Mar 05, 2009 at 17:52:34 from 71.219.75.10

I hope that all is going well and I will keep you and your dad in my thoughts!

How is your dad doing today?

From Marion on Thu, Mar 05, 2009 at 23:07:28 from 71.213.107.160

Thanks again my sweet friends :)

My dad did great today with his surgery. He had to have a quadruple bypass. The heart looked great and everything went just like it is supposed to. I just walked in the door (9:04pm) and he was making jokes when I left :D (I left my house at at 5:30 am this morning) I am pretty pooped. I was going to go running before I left, but we had 6 inches of snow, the roads were not great and I really wanted to see him before he went in for surgery.

From Kelli on Thu, Mar 05, 2009 at 23:33:45 from 71.219.75.10

I am so glad that it went well and that his spirits are high!

Get some rest, forget the running!
